Atmospheric Benchmarks

Atmospheric benchmarks are standard measurements used to evaluate air quality, indicating whether pollution levels are safe or harmful for human health and the environment. They are established by health and environmental authorities based on scientific research. When pollutant concentrations in the air exceed these benchmarks, it signals a potential risk, prompting actions like alerts or pollution controls. These benchmarks help regulators and the public understand air pollution levels and make informed decisions to protect health and improve air quality.
