Answer 2

Answer:

What is Particulate Pollution?

Suspension of microscopic solids and liquids particles present in the form of droplets floating in the air or atmosphere refers to as Particulate pollution. Particulate pollution/ particulate matter/ Atmospheric particulate matter is called PM. The source of the particle can either be natural or anthropogenic.

Particulate matter can be present in the atmosphere in the same form it is released from the source. Sometimes PM can undergo complex chemical reactions in the atmosphere. It is the deadliest type of air pollution because particulate matter can easily penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstreams of human body unfiltered. Moreover, these particles vary from each other in shape, size, and composition.

Particulate Pollutants

A particulate pollutant is a microscopic or microscopic liquid and solid particles present in the form of the suspension in the air. Particulate matter can be released from different types of human activities such as vehicle emissions, smoke particles, dust particles, and ash from industries. Particulate matter present in the air is mainly of two types- Viable particles and non-viable particles.

• Viable Particulate Matter: These particles include lower living organisms such as algae, bacteria, molds, fungi, etc. They are dispersed into the air. Human beings are allergic to these microorganisms and they can also cause different types of diseases in plants and animals.

• Non-Viable Particulate Matter: We can classify these particles on the basis of size and their nature. These particulates include smoke, dust, mists, and fumes.
