Particulates
1. Fine liquid or solid particles such as dust, smoke, mist, fumes, or smog, found in air or emissions. 2.
Airborne Particulates: Total suspended particulate matter found in the atmosphere as solid particles or liquid droplets. Chemical composition of particulates varies widely, depending on location and time of year.
particulates Very small solid particles suspended in water or air. Varying in size, shape, density, and electrical charge, they can be gathered together by coagulation and flocculation.
Particulates; Particulate Matter (PM-10) - A criteria air pollutant. Particulate matter includes dust, soot and other tiny bits of solid materials that are released into and move around in the air.
Particulates
Small solid or liquid particles, especially those in the emission gases of incinerators, boilers, industrial furnaces or in exhaust from diesel and gasoline engines. Particles below 10 microns (10 one-millionths of a meter, 0.
Particulates are tiny pieces of solid or liquid matter, such as soot, dust, fumes, or mist.
PBTs are substances which are Persistent, Bio-accumulative, and Toxic. See also VPVBs ...
Air particulates-Total suspended particulate matter found in the atmosphere as solid particles or liquid droplets. Chemical composition of particulates varies widely, depending on location and time of year.
Particulates are small particles, classified by their sizes. Atmospheric particles are usually measured as TSP, PM10 or PM2.5.
Particulates
Particulates are very small particles, like soot, dust and fumes that are released in the air. They are caused by vehicles, factories and smoke from homes burning coal for heating.
Gases from factories:
Nitrogen Oxides (see above) ...

Entrained: Particulates or vapor transported along with flowing gas or liquid.
Enzyme: Any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and ...
The mass of particulates per unit volume of water.
Parts per billion
Expressed as ppb; a unit of concentration equivalent to the µg/l.
Colloidal and dispersed particulates are artificially gathered together by the processes of coagulation and flocculation.
partition coefficient. A measure of the extent to which a pesticide is divided between the soil and ater phases.
This process produces atmospheric particulates as well as the production of greenhouse and reactive tropospheric gases. These gases include CO2, CO, NOx, CH4, CH3Cl along with the addition of black carbon.
Because of the moisture that is usually trapped within leaves, they tend to burn slowly and thus generate large amounts of airborne particulates"fine bits of dust, soot and other solid materials.
For example, a policy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions might reduce the combustion of coal, but when coal combustion is reduced, so too are the emissions of particulates and sulfur dioxide.
The fraction of the total suspended particulates in air determined from the blackness measurement of the stain produced by passing the air through standard filter paper.

Indoor-air quality-control strategy to remove various airborne particulates and/or gases from the air. Most common methods are particulate filtration, electrostatic precipitation, and gas sorption.

Smog: A combination of smoke and other particulates, ozone, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and other chemically reactive compounds which, under certain conditions of weather and sunlight, ...
Particulate loading: The mass of particulates per unit volume of water.
Parts per billion (ppb): Expressed as ppb; a unit of concentration equivalent to the µg/l.
A method of treating water to remove particulates. The method consists of the addition of coagulant chemicals, flash mixing, coagulation - flocculation, sedimentation and filtration. Also called COMPLETE TREATMENT.
Emissions produced by vehicles include carbon monoxide, particulates, nitrogen oxides and VOCs such as hydrocarbons. In all countries of the industrialized world, the number of vehicles on the roads has been continually increasing since the 1970s.
EPA has identified and ozone, carbon monoxide, total suspended particulates, sulfur dioxide, lead, and nitrogen oxide.
Best Available Control Measures (BACM): A term used to refer to the most effective measures (according to EPA guidance) for controlling small or dispersed particulates and other emissions from sources such as roadway dust, ...
inhalation
Act of drawing in of air, vapor or gas and any suspended particulates into the lung.
Dust, smoke, or chemical fumes that pollute the air and make hazy, unhealthy conditions (literally, the word is a blend of moke and fog). Automobile, truck, bus, and other vehicle exhausts and particulates are usually trapped close to the ground, ...
Wood-Burning-Stove Pollution: Air pollution caused by emissions of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, total suspended particulates, and polycyclic organic matter from wood-burning stoves.
Scrubber: anti-pollution device that uses a liquid or slurry spray to remove acid gases and particulates from municipal waste combustion facility flue gases.
It is regarded as 'clean' energy which does not produce significant pollutants in the form of particulates or noxious gasses. This method does, however, sometimes produce small quantities of hydrogen sulphide ('rotten egg' smell).
The relationship between the amount of pollution produced and the amount of raw material processed. For example, an emission factor for a blast furnace making iron would be the number of pounds of particulates per ton of raw materials.
