pollution that can trap harmful chemicals and particulate matter near the
ground.
Environmental: Pertaining to the natural world and the systems—including
our atmosphere—that support life.
Microscopic: Objects or particles so small that they cannot be resolved by
the naked human eye; they require scientific instruments like light or
electron microscopes to be visualized.
Particulates (Particulate Matter): Tiny solid or liquid particles suspended
in the air. These are often categorized by size (such as $PM_{2.5}$ or
$PM_{10}$), and they are a primary concern for respiratory health because
they can travel deep into the lungs.
