<skos:note xml:lang="en">Extremely small particles and droplets suspended in air. They may include organic chemicals, acids, metals, and dust or soil particles. Also known as particle pollution, particulate matter is used as a measure of air pollution. The EPA groups inhalable pollutants which pass through the throat and nose and enter the lungs into two categories: “inhalable coarse particles” (between 2.5 micrometers and 10 micrometers in diameter); and “fine particles” (2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller).</skos:note>
