PM2.5 means particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers as measured by an EPA reference or equivalent method.
PM2.5 means particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal

Examples of PM2.5 in a sentence

  • The term “PM2.5 Air Quality” means fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that is an air pollutant, which is a concern for people's health when levels in air are high.
