 Test lll. Reading Comprehension. Directions: Read and understand the passages,

Outdoor air pollution is a mix of chemicals, particulate matter, and biological

materials that react with each other to form tiny hazardous particles. It contributes to
breathing problems, chronic diseases, increased hospitalization, and premature mortality.
The concentration of particulate matter (PM) is a key air quality indicator since it is
the most common air pollutant that affects short term and long term health. Two sizes of
particulate matter are used to analyze air quality; fine particles with a diameter of less
than 2.5 µm or PM 2.5 and coarse particles with a diameter of less than 10 µm or PM10.
PM2.5 particles are more concerning because their small size allows them to travel
deeper into the cardiopulmonary system
The World Health Organization’s air quality guidelines recommend that the annual
mean concentrations of PM 2.5 should not exceed 10 µg/m3 for PM a0.
