Matter composed of particles; -- often used in the pl.; as, the quantity of particulates in auto exhaust is strictly regulated.
Any solid or liquid material in the atmosphere.
small, discrete, solid or liquid bodies, especially those suspended in a liquid or gaseous medium.
A particle or small object made of a solid or liquid material.
Composed of distinct particles. Smoke is particulate; pure gases are not.
A substance which consists of particles. (ex. flour, rouge, clay).
A substance that consists of particles (minute quantities of solid or liquid matter).
Relating to minute, separate particles.
(substance) : substance in the form of small liquid or solid particles which remain individually dispersed.
Tiny particles of solid or liquid suspended in the air ranging from 1 nanometer to 100 micrometers in diameter
a particle of solid or liquid matter; soot, dust, aerosols, fumes and mists
Matter (PM) Solid particles or liquid droplets suspended or carried in the air (e.g., soot, dust, fumes, mist). Any material, except pure water, that exists in the solid or liquid state in the atmosphere. The size of particulate matter can vary from coarse, wind-blown dust particles to fine particle combustion products.
a small discrete mass of solid or liquid matter that remains individually dispersed in gas or liquid emissions (usually considered to be an atmospheric pollutant)
A tiny amount of solid or liquid carried in the air, for example soot, dust or fumes.
a particle of a solid or liquid that is suspended in the air.
a tiny bit of solid or liquid matter (soot, dust, fumes, aerosols, mist, etc.) suspended or carried in the air. Fine particulate matter smaller than 10 microns in diameter is called PM10. One hair on your head is approximately 70 microns in diameter, so you see PM10 is really, really small.
Consisting of particles, often of a small size. This term is used most often in reference to enclosure substrates. Iguanas have the propensity to ingest particulate substrates such as wood chips. Since these substances can get stuck in the gut, causing impaction (see above), they should be avoided.
A minute particle. For example, the quantity of particulate in the air is a measure of air pollution.
a small particle of solid matter or a droplet of liquid of a size that allows it to remain suspended in air.
1. Fine liquid or solid particles such as dust, smoke, mist, fumes, or smog found in air or emissions. 2, Very small solid suspended in water. They vary in size, shape, density, and electrical charge, can be gathered together by coagulation and flocculation.
An adjective referring to particles, e.g., particulate matter.
existing in the form of minute separate particles.
A small, discrete mass of solid or liquid matter that remains individually dispersed in gas or liquid emissions. Particulates take the form of aerosol, dust, fume, mist, smoke, or spray. Each of these forms has different properties.
a minute particle of matter.
Minute, separate pieces of matter.
Aerosol particulate contaminants are suspensions of fine solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere.
Dust and very small particles of matter.
A small, solid piece of matter that is easily lifted into the air, such as dust or ash. Smaller, fine particulates are more hazardous than larger, coarse ones because they are more easily inhaled deep into the lungs.
Refers to small, solid particles in the sample or mobile phase which can plug or damage the column or other parts of the HPLC system.
fine road and construction dust, diesel soot, and other visible and microscopic particles that are suspended in the air, typically a result of emissions from fossil-fuel burning, vehicles, and boilers
of or relating to minute discrete particles; a particulate substance.
A very small solid suspended in water which can vary widely in size, shape, density, and electrical charge.
Relating to or occurring in the form of fine particles.
Any liquid or solid particles temporarily suspended in the atmosphere. See PM-10.
Particulates, alternatively referred to as particulate matter (PM), aerosols or fine particles, are tiny particles of solid (a smoke) or liquid (an aerosol) suspended in a gas. They range in size from less than 10 nanometres to more than 100 micrometres in diameter. This range of sizes represent scales from a gathering of a few molecules to the size where the particles no longer can be carried by the gas. sources of particulate mater can be anthropogenic or natural.
