Airborne dust

Airborne dust consists of tiny solid particles suspended in the air, originating from sources like soil, pollen, construction sites, vehicle emissions, or combustion. These particles vary in size, composition, and origin, and can be inhaled into the lungs or settle on surfaces. Inhalation of dust can cause health issues, especially for sensitive individuals or those exposed over long periods. Dust levels can fluctuate based on weather, activities, and environmental conditions, impacting air quality and visibility. Monitoring and managing airborne dust are important for maintaining a healthy environment and protecting public health.
