Air quality measurement series: Dust (PM10) This blog covers coarse particulate matter (PM10) composition, sources, health and environmental effects, exposure guidelines, and why monitoring matters.

#PM10 refers to #ParticulateMatter that is 10 micrometers or smaller in diameter. Common sources include #construction, agriculture, and wildfires. It affects #RespiratoryHealth and contributes to environmental harm.
