English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
CONT

Organic Particulate Matter. Organic particulate matter occurs in a wide variety of compounds in the atmosphere. ... Much of this organic matter occurs in the respirable 1 µ size range. Organic particles typically are collected for study on a filter designed to remove a minimum of 99.9% of particles having a diameter of 0.3 µ or greater.

CONT

... in a well designed and maintained treatment system, turbidity caused by high levels of inorganic suspended sediment or particulate organic matter such as algae can usually be reduced by filtering, if the particles are large enough.

CONT

An important goal of soil management is to maintain high soil structural stability. It is hypothesized that particulate organic matter(POM) contributes to aggregate stability;...

PHR

Root-derived intraaggregate POM, surface residue-derived POM.
