Major emission sources, highlighted in Chapter 1 of this book, release not only a huge amount of primary PM but also precursor gases, which subsequently form secondary PM in the atmosphere. High levels of total suspended PM (TSP) and PM10 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm) in populated urban areas of Asia have been reported (Gupta et al., 2006; Health Effects Institute [HEI], 2004; Molina and Molina, 2004; Tsai and Chen, 2006). Fragmented available data of PM2.5 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 µm) also showed very high levels of this toxic air pollutant, often exceeding the WHO guideline by a factor of 2 or more (Hopke et al., 2008; Kim Oanh et al., 2006).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1201/b12235[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
