The buildings and residential activities sector was the main source of airborne particulate matter PM10 emissions in France between 2005 and 2023. PM10 from the residential housing sector is typically emitted by domestic biomass combustion for cooking and heating. The transportation sector strongly contributed to the decrease in PM10 emissions over the years, having reduced the total amount of PM10 released in the air by more than 57 percent compared to the volume emitted in 2005. Emissions from the manufacturing industry and agriculture sectors only slightly decreased. In 2023, these two sectors combined represented about 42 percent of the PM10 emissions in France.
