PM10和PM2.5—空气污染物颗粒的区别

北京雾霾严重

大小重要吗?

PM10PM2.5的区别就在于大小。但咱们还是从头说起。“PM” 是英文颗粒物particulate matter)的缩写,颗粒物指的是空气中的颗粒物。这些颗粒物包括有机的尘土、空气传播的细菌、建筑扬尘、工厂产生的燃煤颗粒物(这里有一个例子是上海的一个科学家分析的污染物颗粒都是什么组成的)。

 

现在回到大小。“10”“2.5”的单位是微米。微米是很小的单位。下面是微米和一根人类头发的对比:

接下来我想说的是一个隐藏的(没有被标示出来的)关于“PM10”“PM2.5”的细节。这个细节就是小于这个词。每一种污染物的定义都是小于或者等于它的大小数值。也就是说,PM10是小于或等于10微米的污染物颗粒。PM2.5是小于或等于2.5微米的污染物颗粒。也就是说,PM10是包涵PM2.5的。

 

PM不包括什么呢?

最后科普一下PM不包括什么。污染物颗粒不包括臭氧或一氧化氮这类气体污染物。下面是特意为书呆子们准备的更多关于PM2.5的文章:

 

  1. 我在这篇文章里介绍了政府是如何测量PM2.5的(包括他们用了什么伎俩让空气里大于2.5微米的污染物颗粒都不作数了。)
  2. 我在这里回答了我们的身体是如何对PM2.5做出反应的,还有为什么PM2.5是用我们意想不到的方式杀人的
  3. 这个回答里,我在我北京的公寓里测试了是否我自己做的DIY空气净化器可以清除空气里的PM2.5

 

希望对你有所帮助!

Hi. Do PM 2.5 particles get stuck in your lungs, or are they too small for this, and go straight into the blood stream? Thanks

I believe you have it backwards; pm 10 would filter particles with a size of 10 microns and larger, while pm 2.5 will filter out more particulate matter down to 2.5 microns and larger. Your arrows should point in the opposite direction.
