Book excerpt: Fine particulate matter may include a broad range of chemical species and is ubiquitous in the environment, being produced from both natural and anthropogenic sources. This report summarizes the information critical to the assessment of particulates of 10 microns or less in mass median aerodynamic diameter as toxic, including their physical and chemical properties, sources, production, measurement methods, and exposure in the ambient environment and indoor air; toxicokinetics; and effects on experimental animals and in vitro and on humans. The report also includes an assessment under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act of fine particulates regarding their human health effects.
