Unlike some of the other major air pollutants that affect our health, such as ground-level ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter is the only example that isn’t a gas. It could be entirely mineral, but it could also include dissolved gasses or black carbon.

Examples are benzene, hydrofluoric acid, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and many, many other toxic pollutants. It has been estimated that globally oil processing is responsible for about 15 percent of all VOCs released into the atmosphere. Refining uses many risky industrial processes. have a diameter of 2.5
