Particulate Matter (PM) and Fibers

2023
Hermann Fromme

Summary

A comprehensive chapter reviewed multiple categories of airborne particulate matter, including ultrafine particles, engineered nanoparticles, asbestos fibers, man-made mineral fibers, and microplastics, detailing their sources, characteristics, and health implications. This comparative analysis underscores that microplastics share inhalation exposure pathways with other well-studied hazardous particles, warranting similar regulatory attention and health research.

In this chapter, the particulate matter (PM), ultrafine particles, engineered nanoparticles, fibers like asbestos and man-made mineral fibers, as well as microplastic are presented individually in detail. In addition to a brief description of the...
