AM for PM

A nationwide non-profit initiative advancing education, research, and public action on particulate matter and air quality.

Our Mission

AM for PM works to increase nationwide understanding of airborne particulate matter and its impacts on human health and the environment.

Why it matters: Fine particles are among the most harmful air pollutants, yet remain widely misunderstood.

Understanding Particulate Matter

Particulate matter is a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in the air.

Vehicles, power plants, construction, agriculture, and wildfires.

Sizes

Includes PM10, PM2.5, and ultrafine particles.

Exposure

Particles can be inhaled deep into the lungs and bloodstream.

PM2.5

PM2.5 particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometers and pose serious health risks.
