Soot
Fine, sticky powder, comprised mostly of carbon, formed by the burning of fossil fuels.
Soot: Carbon dust formed by incomplete combustion.
Sorption: The action of soaking up or attracting substances; process used in many pollution control systems.
Soot: Very fine carbon particles that have a black appearance when emitted into the air.
soot : Carbon dust formed by incomplete combustion.
source reduction : The design, manufacture, purchase, or use of materials (such as products and packaging) to reduce the amount or toxicity of garbage generated.
particulate matter Very small pieces of solid or liquid matter, such as particles of soot, dust, aerosols, fumes, or mists.
In extreme cases, they eject vast quantities of gases such as sulphur and nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, usually soot and mineral ash, high into the troposphere.
Particulate matter includes dust, soot and other tiny bits of solid materials that are released into and move around in the air.
Black Carbon - Emitted during the burning of coal, diesel fuel, natural gas and biomass and is part of the composition of soot.
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) ...
Examples include soot consisting of tiny black particles, which absorb all visible light; and nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant mostly from diesel and gasoline engines, that absorbs blue light resulting in air with a brown tint.
elemental carbon (soot)
elemental sulfur
mineral salts, though these can occur naturally
lead and other toxic heavy metals ...
First, both charcoal and wood burn "dirty," producing not only hydrocarbons but also tiny soot particles that pollute the air and can aggravate heart and lung problems.
Particulate Matter (PM): A form of air pollution that includes soot, dust, dirt and aerosols.
Particulate Matter (PM) or Particle Pollution. Small particles of matter such as dust and soot that are suspended in the air. PM is emitted from sources such as motor vehicles, some industrial processes and forest fires.
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 ...
A collective name for fine solid or liquid particles added to the atmosphere by processes at the earth's surface. Particulate matter includes dust, smoke, soot, pollen and soil particles.

carbon Carbon itself, soot, is harmless. The word carbon is used as shorthand for “carbon dioxide, or other greenhouse gas adjusted to account for the difference in potency'.
