Is air pollution homogeneous in its' health effects? It seems to be treated as being such (classified by size) but I don't think that makes sense.

I'd much rather breathe in a room with 100ug/m3 of 2.5um particles of paper than I would glass or exhaust fumes for example.

I would think it’s not all the same, and point out asbestos has very bad side effects. So I too would rather breathe paper than other things. Ideally just air though.
