PM2.5 particles are of particular regulatory and health concern due to their ability to remain airborne for extended periods and penetrate deep into the respiratory system. The table below summarizes the percentage of modeled PM2.5 particles escaping the terminal boundary. Dispersion images for each SW scenario are provided in Appendix F.
