The book covers the three largest sources of particulate matter pollution in five chapters. The book begins with indoor solid fuel combustion for cooking in lower income countries and tells the story of how this problem was identified and recent efforts to eliminate it.

The last two chapters cover ambient particulate matter in the outdoor air.

They address fine and ultrafine particles, describing the pioneering work on fine PM, the subsequent industry attacks on the scientists and then the emerging interest and concern
