Airborne particulate matter is one of the main atmospheric pollutants also known as a criteria pollutant as well as an environmental indicator. It affects the radiative balance of the planet and its hydrological cycle, it may play a role in visibility, but above all, it has been historically associated with adverse effects on human health. This chapter describes the physical and chemical properties of this complex pollutant, introducing the basic knowledge for suitable physico-chemical characterization and source apportionment.

Abstract

Airborne particulate matter is one of the main atmospheric pollutants also known as a criteria pollutant as well as an environmental indicator. It affects the radiative balance of the planet and its hydrological cycle, it may play a role in visibility, but above all, it has been historically associated with adverse effects on human health. This chapter describes the physical and chemical properties of this complex pollutant, introducing the basic knowledge for suitable physico-chemical characterization and source apportionment.
