PM10

PM10 refers to tiny particles in the air that are 10 micrometers or smaller in diameter. These particles, which can come from vehicle exhaust, construction sites, dust, and other pollution sources, are small enough to be inhaled into the lungs and potentially cause health problems, especially for children, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues. Monitoring PM10 levels helps assess air quality and the potential risks to public health. While not all particles are harmful, high concentrations of PM10 can lead to respiratory irritation, worsen existing conditions, and contribute to long-term health issues.
