The s ize of particles can directly be linked to their potential for causing hea lth problems. Particulate matter (PM10)\, which are particles smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter\, pose the greatest problems\, because they ca n get deep into the human body and deposit in the lungs or even infiltrate the bloodstream. To protect human health governments have set strict limi t values for particulate matter (i.e. the EU has set a limit of 40 µg/m3 of PM10 in the atmosphere).
