In this series, we will first discuss the characteristics of fine particles, and later we will discuss health studies showing the consequences of breathing fine particles. The process of incineration turns solids and liquids partly into gases and partly into tiny particles of soot or ash. As the gases rise in the smoke stack, they cool and some of the gas molecules come together to form additional fine particles. The resulting particles are exceedingly small when they are emitted into the environment.
