摘要

Air quality experts at a recent scientific workshop on "ultrafine" particulate matter (UFP) agreed that tiny particles pose significant health risks compared to larger fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse particulate matter (PM10), but any EPA regulation of UFP appears to be a distant prospect given doubts about how to craft such rules. UFP penetrates cells in the body more readily than larger particles, experts said, making it potentially more dangerous. While several experts at the workshop agreed on UFP's risks to the public, they thought it unlikely that regulators would be able to set federal or state air standards for the pollutant in the near future. Questions that remain to be answered prior to regulation of the particles include how to define the components of UFP, what size of UFP to regulate, and how to measure concentrations of UFP emissions.
