Any particles small enough to pass through a 1-mm screen and large enough to settle in the collector (ASTM 1976 555).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'air
CONT

Les principaux polluants de l'atmosphère : [...] les poussières les plus grosses (diamètre supérieur à 10 microns) qui retombent rapidement sur le sol - poussières sédimentables - sont également émises par les industries polluantes (sidérurgie, cimenteries, stations d'enrobage de revêtement routier, plâtreries....)

OBS

Le terme anglais "particulates" correspond, à strictement parler, au terme français "particules". Comme il s'agit la plupart du temps des particules solides que constituent des poussières, on le rend presque toujours par "poussières".
