Understanding the Health Impacts of PM 2.5 and the Need for Monitoring
Particulate matter (PM) 2.5 is a silent menace affecting air quality and, more importantly, public health. These fine particles, measuring 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter, are small enough to penetrate deep into the respiratory system, causing significant health problems. With increasing urbanization and industrial activities, the surge in PM 2.5 levels calls for action—both at an individual and community level. This blog explores the health risks of PM 2.5, how PM 2.5 monitor play a pivotal role in mitigating exposure, and the broader implications for urban planning and public health initiatives.
