Researchers at WashU determined the concentration of submicron particulate matter over the United States, with the darker red areas holding higher concentrations. These are the smallest particles of air pollution, which could make them more detrimental to human health. (Image: Atmospheric Composition Analysis Group).

Tiny and toxic: Researchers track smaller air pollution particles across U.S. skies

To help understand air pollution health effects, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis quantify how the amount of submicron particles in the air has changed over the past 25 years.
