What are secondary pollutants?
Secondary pollutants are the ones that are caused by the intermingling and reactions of primary pollutants.
Secondary pollutants are the ones that are caused by mining operations.
Secondary pollutants are the ones that are caused by the direct result of the combustion process.

Suspended particulate matter causes major respiratory disease. How?
The SPM gets into the bloodstream and then it attaches itself to the oxygen-carrying red cells and stops them from working.
The SPM reacts with haemoglobin and reduces the oxygen transportation.
Dust particles stick in the nose and make it difficult to breathe.
The SPM can penetrate deep into the lungs, collecting in tiny air sacs (alveoli) where oxygen enters the bloodstream.
