PM is called Particulate Matter, and it is also called Particle Pollution. It is actually a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets present in the atmosphere. They are so small that they can only be detected using an electron microscope. These particles cannot be seen as such. Only when the amount of PM2.5 in the air is 60 and the amount of PM10 is 100, the air is considered safe to breathe. If their presence is increased from this level, then it is considered dangerous. When you breathe, these particles get into your lungs and then there is a risk of many serious respiratory and other diseases. PM 2.5 is a small substance that dissolves in the air. The fog increases only when the PM2.5 level is high. Visibility levels also drop. Talking about PM 10, the size of these particles is 10 micrometers. The diameter of small particles is 2.5 micrometers or less. It contains dust, grime and microscopic particles of metal. PM 10 and 2.5 increase more than dust, constriction, and burning of garbage and straw. Let's take an awesome quiz about PM2.5 Particulate Mater.
