Turner's Peer Review

Lead Section: The lead section presents a concise overview of the topic. There isn't a clear imbalance of coverage of material, and each type of particulate matter has a similar amount of focus; however, it seems like marine debris/aerosols get the bulk of coverage in the overall article. I feel like the last two sentences of the lead can be combined to formulate the same statement in a more concise way by referencing the "specific source" as either natural or anthropogenic.

Structure: The structure of the article so far is very clear and easy to understand. Each type of particulate has a clearly defined section that is presented in a clean format. I would shift the section order to have the marine debris/aerosols section presented first since it seems to have the most content and be the most prevalent.

Balance: The lead section presents the three primary types of particulate that you mention as equal in importance/prevalence in the environment; however, the sections don't share equal coverage. I don't think there's an agenda trying to deliberately downplay the importance of space debris, so I recommend trying to include more coverage about space debris and make that section as well crafted as your other two. Nothing in your article is off-topic or irrelevant.

Neutrality: The article does not present any particular agenda as part of the coverage of particulate pollution that would suggest bias. There aren't any unnamed groups or positive/negative qualifiers that indicate preference towards any subject in the article. Overall, the article presents an objective review of particulate pollution, but it does focus primarily on marine debris.

Sources: The sources present a balance between peer-reviewed journals and federal data; however, source five has multiple uses compared to the first four, which have only one or two citations. The one statement on space debris might need a citation from one of your references because there aren't any in that section.
