What is PM2.5 and the AQI?
Discussion
Air quality standards are made, measured and monitored by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Clean Air Act. All potential pollutants are not necessarily monitored. Some of the most commonly monitored and studied are fine particulate matter, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
Common fine particulate matter < 2.5 µm (PM2.5) sources include the natural sources of biomass burning, coal burning, road and soil dust, sea spray aerosols, wildfire particles, and volcanic dust. Human sources of PM2.5 include residential cooking and heating, farming, ...
