Airborne Contaminants

Airborne contaminants are particles or pollutants suspended in the air that can affect health and the environment. They include dust, smoke, biological agents like bacteria or mold spores, chemical vapors, and gases. These contaminants can originate from various sources such as industrial processes, vehicle emissions, construction activities, or natural events like wildfires. When inhaled, they may cause health issues like respiratory problems, allergies, or other illnesses. Managing airborne contaminants involves controlling emissions, improving ventilation, and using filtration systems to reduce exposure and protect health and safety.
