    PM-10 refers to particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in diameter that is dispersed in the atmosphere. Sources of PM-10 include combustion from vehicles and industry, dust, and agricultural burning. The World Health Organization recommends a maximum level of 50 micrograms per cubic meter. A map shows PM-10 data across Europe from 2006-2010, and particulate matter concentrations can be checked for each country through the provided link.

    4. What is PM-10?, Is PM-10 measured in your country? PM10 is small, solid or liquid particles of dust, ash, soot, metal particles, cement or pollen, dispersed in the atmosphere, whose diameter is less than 10.They consist mainly of inorganic compounds, such as silicates and aluminates, and other heavy metals and organic material associated with carbon particles (soot). The main sources of PM10 are: Pollution generated by combustion in cars Industry, construction and trade Dust Agricultural burning According to the WHO (World Health Organization) the recommended maximum level is 50 micrograms per cubic meter (microns). Below is a map showing the data on PM-10 in Europe for the period of 2006-2010.
