Particles found in the air we breathe vary greatly in size. The greatest health hazard from
particles comes from the smallest ones – less than 10 microns (10 µm or 10 micrometres)
across – because we easily inhale these small particles into our lungs. These particles are
referred to as PM10 (referring to their size) or as inhalable particulate (referring to their
potential effect). PM10 come from sources such as burning coal, oil, wood, and petrol and
diesel in domestic fires, transportation and
inshore and offshore spoil disposal areas in the
Tasman Sea.
During the monitoring period, Port Taranaki Limited demonstrated an overall high level

surveys at four sites, and two kaimoana surveys at five sites.
The results of intertidal surveys did not indicate that the disposal of dredged material was
having a significant impact on the abundance or diversity of intertidal
