PM10 refers to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) that have a diameter of 10 micrometers or less. Only sectors contributing more than 0.5% of the total emissions of each pollutant are included. The sectoral contributions are rounded to the nearest integer. Figures may not total 100% due to rounding.
