Good to see we have a lively debate on the subject.

PM 10 aka 'dust particulate less than 10 microns' is one of the six US EPA criteria air pollutants.

The others are
03/Ozone
CO/Carbon Monoxide
Pb/Lead
NOx
SOx

The release of any of the 6 mixes with other emissions to create the generic smog. Greenhouse gases include Methane (cow farts and emissions from burying organics in landfills) and CO2.

Burning unnecessarily is a stupid thing to do without controls. Dumping stuff in a landfill is ALSO a stupid thing to do....but since WWII it's what the U.S. does.

There is a market for every type of waste except for 'poopy diapers'....Wayne has used those for moderators...

Anyways, separating waste at the source and then processing the waste and reusing it is smarter than landfilling....one of these days the majority of the people in the U.S. will figure that out.
