Supplementary notes

Particle pollution, also called particulate matter or PM, is a mixture of solids and liquid droplets floating in the air. Particles less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter are so small that they can get into the lungs, potentially causing serious health problems.
Average annual PM10 particulate concentration EU/PL standard is 40 ug/m3 (WHO - 20 ug/m3) .
