Suspended particulate matter is composed of tiny particles, floating in whatever medium they are in (possibly air or water). They are heavy enough to sink if they were larger, but at their small size, they are easily carried by wind or currents. Fires tend to release these. They are unhealthy to inhale.

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) refers to solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere. These particles can vary in size, composition, and origin. SPM can be natural, such as dust and sea salt, or anthropogenic, resulting from industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and burning of fossil fuels. High levels of SPM in the air can have negative health and environmental impacts.

What are some particulate matter effects?
Particulate matter is a type of air pollution that consists of both liquid and solid particles suspended in the ambient air. This pollution may cause damage to living beings, specifically to their breathing system. The primary pollutants in particulate matter is Nitrogen Dioxide and Ozone, the primary contributor in global warming. In large concentrations, particulate matter could even create low visibility, commonly known as smog. This is highly detrimental to the air transportation industries.
