PM10, PM2.5 is different from other pollution like CO2. CO2 is causing a lot of damage for the whole planet in long run, but in short it is neutral for local communities. Still getting off CO2 is a challenge that we don't have a good answer to (but working on it). PM10, PM2.5 are air debris which are causing a lot of damage to people around, but don't have long term global impact. With current technologies most of the first world countries are able to keep them at low level even with significant fossil fuel usage. The key is to have cars with good emission standards, heat systems with efficient burning cycles, air particle filters... PM10, PM2.5 you can feel, CO2 is invisible to our senses. I was shocked how heavy New Delhi air is when I visited this year. They are trying to fix by using more CNG vehicles, but with current income level and crumbling infrastructure it will most likely take decades.
