Ambient Air Quality Standards

Ambient Air Quality Standards are guidelines set by governments to protect public health and the environment from air pollution. These standards define acceptable levels of various pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, in the outdoor air. The aim is to ensure that the air we breathe is safe and does not pose risks to human health or the ecosystem. Regular monitoring helps to assess whether air quality meets these standards, allowing for action to be taken when pollution levels are too high.
