Write down the effect of particulate pollutants on the environment.
The effect of particulate pollutants are largely dependent on the particle size. Airborne particles such as dust, fumes, mist etc., are dangerous for human health. Particulate pollutants bigger than $5$ microns are likely to lodge in the nasal passage, whereas particles of about $1$ micron enter into lungs easily.
Lead used to be a major air pollutant emitted by vehicles. Leaded petrol is the primary source of air-borne lead emission. This problem has been overcome by using unleaded petrol. Lead interferes with the development and maturation of red blood cells.
