Questions

I think that we need to answer the following questions in the order below. Once we make decisions about the first, it reduces the appropriate options for the remaining questions

1. Is the primary topic for "particulate" really "atmospheric particulate matter" as per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC or do we need a broad concept article for particulate Wikipedia:Broad concept articles? Is there likely to be enough material to create a broad concept article or will it essentially duplicate the existing articles?
2. Is the most appropriate name for an article on "atmospheric particulate matter" particulate, particulates, particulate matter or atmospheric particulate matter? WP:TITLE If we have a broad concept article at particulate, this article has to be either atmospheric particulate matter or particulate matter.
3. Where do we redirect the remaining pages?
4. Do we need a disambiguation page or can we handle this with hat notes/a broad concept article?
