Background NotesParticle Pollution (PM10) and(n.颗粒，微粒；微量，极小量) pollution (also known as "particulate<n.微粒，颗粒，粒子> matter") in the air includes a mixture of solids and liquid droplets（液体的小滴）. Some particles are emitted directly; others are formed in the atmosphere when other pollutants react. Particles come in a wide range of sizes. Those less than 10 micrometers in diameter直径 (PM10) are so small that they can get into the lungs, potentially causing serious health problems. Ten micrometers is smaller than the width of a single human hair.Fine particles . Particles less than micrometers in diameter are called "fine" particles. These particles are so small they can be detected only with an electron microscope. Sources of fine particles include all types of combustion, including motor vehicles, power plants, residential wood burning, forest fires, agricultural burning, and some industrial processes.Coarse（粗糙的，粗鲁的；粗野的，粗俗的）dust particles.
