The size of contaminants and particles are usually described in microns, a metric unit of measure where one micron is one-millionth of a meter. There are 25,400 microns in one inch. The eye can see particles to about 40 microns.

The size of some contaminants and particles are indicated in the table below.

Airborne particles
Airborne particles are solids suspended in the air.

Larger particles - larger then 100 μm
terminal velocities > 0.5 m/s
fall out quickly
includes hail, snow, insect debris, room dust, soot aggregates, coarse sand, gravel, and sea spray
Medium-size particles - in the range 1 to 100 μm
sedimentation velocities greater than 0.2 m/s
settles out slowly
includes fine ice crystals, pollen, hair, large bacteria, windblown dust, fly ash, coal dust, silt, fine sand, and small dust
Small particles - less than 1 μm
falls slowly, take days to years to settle out of a quiet atmosphere. In a turbulent atmosphere they may never settle out
can be washed out by water or rain
includes viruses, small bacteria, metallurgical fumes, soot, oil smoke, tobacco smoke, clay, and fumes
Hazardous Dust Particles
Smaller dust particles can be hazardous for humans. In many jurisdictions dust fractions at specified particle sizes in working environments are required to be measured.

Inhalable Dust
Airborne particles which can enter the nose and mouth during normal breathing. Particles of 100 microns diameter or less.

Thoracic Dust
Particles that will pass through the nose and throat, reaching the lungs. Particles of 10 microns diameter and less. Referred to as PM10 in the USA.

Respirable Dust
Particles that will penetrate into the gas exchange region of the lungs. A hazardous particulate size less than 5 microns. Particle sizes of 2.5 micron (PM2.5) are often used in USA.

thesis basic definitions

The ambient concentration level reflecting actual air quality as monitored or modeled ... [http://www.arb.ca.gov/DRDB/TUO/CURHTML/R102.HTM]

Ambient : Surrounding (for example, ambient air). [http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/glossary.html]

Concentration : The amount of a substance present in a certain amount of soil, water, air, food, blood, hair, urine, breath, or any other media.
[http://en.mimi.hu/environment/concentration.html]

Concentration : The relative amount of a substance mixed with another substance. An example is five parts per million of carbon monoxide in air or 1 milligram/liter of iron in water.
[http://en.mimi.hu/environment/concentration.html]

Contaminant : A substance that is either present in an environment where it does not belong or is present at levels that might cause harmful (adverse) health effects.
[http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/glossary.html#Exposure%20Pathway]
[http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/glossary.html#G-A-]

“Background concentration” means the ambient concentration of a
given parameter upstream or upgradient from a facility, practice or activity
which has not been affected by that facility, practice or activity.
[http://www.owrb.ok.gov/util/rules/pdf_rul/background_def.pdf]

Exposure pathway
The route a substance takes from its source (where it began) to its end point (where it ends), and how people can come into contact with (or get exposed to) it. An exposure pathway has five parts: a source of contamination (such as an abandoned business); an environmental media and transport mechanism (such as movement through groundwater); a point of exposure (such as a private well); a route of exposure (eating, drinking, breathing, or touching), and a receptor population (people potentially or actually exposed). When all five parts are present, the exposure pathway is termed a completed exposure pathway.

air-water-are-examples-of-newtonian-fluids

Fluid Mechanics defines a fluid as:
A substance which undergoes continuous deformation when subjected to a shear stress.
A fluid substance; a body whose particles move easily among themselves.
Fluid is a generic term, including liquids and gases as species.

Water, air, and steam are fluids-->Newtonian Fluid

The resistance to deformation offered by a fluid under a shear stress is called fluid viscosity. This is an important parameter to categorize the various types of fluids, or fluid models (for Fluid Mechanics calculations). The simplest fluid model is the perfect or ideal fluid. This model corresponds to a hypothetical gas or liquid that offers no resistance to shear, and thus has zero viscosity (an inviscid fluid). This model is sometimes used for real fluids with low viscosity.

Ideal Fluid (Perfect or inviscid fluid) - Hypothetical gas or liquid with zero viscosity
Newtonian Fluid - Fluid with a constant viscosity at a fixed temperature and pressure
Non-Newtonian Fluid - Viscosity is a function of shear stress
