Adjective
Formed of very small, separate particles. Dust and soot are forms of particulate matter.

Air Filter Performance
To assess the role of aerosols in our environment and the influence by anthropogenic emissions requires an understanding of the life cycle and transport patterns of solid aerosol particles, their compositional evolution as well as a detailed knowledge of cloud formation and nucleation mechanisms depend on the properties of the pre- existing aerosols [33-36].
