1. Particulate matter (PM): Tiny particles of solid or liquid matter suspended in the air, such as dust, dirt, soot, and smoke.
2. Ground-level ozone: A harmful gas formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in the presence of sunlight.
3. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2): A reddish-brown gas that is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels, such as in vehicles and power plants.
4. Sulfur dioxide (SO2): A colorless gas that is produced by burning fossil fuels containing sulfur, such as coal and oil.
5. Carbon monoxide (CO): A colorless, odorless gas that is produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels.
6. Lead: A heavy metal that can be released into the air from sources such as leaded gasoline and industrial processes.
7. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Organic chemicals that can evaporate into the air and react with other pollutants to form ground-level ozone.
8. Ammonia: A colorless gas that is released from agricultural activities, such as livestock farming and fertilizer application.
9. Radon: A radioactive gas that can seep into buildings from the ground and accumulate to harmful levels.
10. Indoor air pollutants: Pollutants that are present indoors, such as tobacco smoke, mold, and household cleaning products.

Primary Air Pollutants
- Carbon monoxide (CO): Produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels in engines, power plants, and industrial processes.
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx): Produced by high-temperature combustion in engines, power plants, and industrial processes.
- Sulfur oxides (SOx): Produced by combustion of fossil fuels containing sulfur, such as coal and oil.
- Particulate matter (PM): Tiny particles of solid or liquid matter, including dust, smoke, and aerosols.
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Emitted from paints, solvents, cleaning products, and certain plants.
Secondary Air Pollutants
- Ozone (O3): Formed when sunlight reacts with nitrogen oxides and VOCs.
- Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN): Formed when sunlight reacts with nitrogen oxides and VOCs.
Other Types of Air Pollutants
- Dioxins and furans: Toxic byproducts of industrial processes and waste incineration.
- Heavy metals: Released from mining, smelting, and burning fossil fuels.
- Mercury: Emitted from coal-fired power plants and industrial sources.
- Asbestos: Released from construction and demolition materials.
- Radon: A radioactive gas that seeps from the ground.
