I initially wondered why these particular numbers and why don't
we provide an attribute specify this separately?

However google suggests these two are pretty much the only
ones anyone worries about in pollution sensors.  I ended
up fairly quickly at the EPA website
https://www.epa.gov/pm-pollution/table-historical-particulate-matter-pm-national-ambient-air-quality-standards-naaqs
which tells me these two have be used since about 1987.

So I think the modifier route is the right approach here
(I think we've gotten this wrong in the past such as light
sensor colours where the list keeps on growing).

I would like a reference or two in the docs though to point
people to these definitions.

Thanks,

Jonathan
