PM2.5 Monitoring

PM2.5 monitoring involves measuring tiny particles in the air that are 2.5 micrometers in diameter or smaller. These particles can come from various sources, such as vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and natural events like wildfires. Because they are so small, PM2.5 can be inhaled deeply into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to health issues like respiratory problems and heart disease. Monitoring PM2.5 levels helps assess air quality and informs the public about pollution risks, guiding efforts to reduce emissions and protect health.
