PM10 emissions in the United States fell by 74 percent between 1970 and 1990. Since then, emissions have mostly continued to decline, although reductions have been less dramatic. In 2020, PM10 emissions totaled 2.2 million tons - a 31 percent reduction from 1990 levels. Sources of PM10 particulate emissions include fuel combustion from electricity utilities, industrial activities, and transport.
