Fine particulate matter levels are a concern countrywide. All solid fuels (e.g. coal, peat and wood) produce fine particulate matter emissions.

This is particularly problematic in or near towns and cities because of the cumulative effects of multiple sources of the pollutant and the large numbers of people exposed.
