The statutory limit for PM2.5 pollution:

15 micrograms per m3
Regulator ref: 40 CFR 50.7(a) Max density averaged over an annual period: 15 g/m3 Max density averaged over 24 hours: 35 g/m3

One lb of PM2.5 can completely saturate:

1 billion
cubic feet of air (1,067,897,557 ft3)

Volume of air saturated by one lb of PM2.5

Volume of air saturated daily by Clean Heat buildings (cubes)

Volume of air saturated daily by Clean Heat buildings (square-base towers better for comparison)

Red volumes: #6 oil Pink volumes: #4 oil Green volumes: Converted

Clicking any volume reveals information about the building, its emissions and whether the conversion is complete, incomplete or if there has been no inquiry.

Daily PM2.5 emissions from buildings that have been converted BEFORE CONVERSION

Daily PM2.5 emissions from buildings that have been converted AFTER CONVERSION
