WHO Air Quality Guidelines

The WHO Air Quality Guidelines set international standards for the levels of air pollutants, such as PM2.5, PM10, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide, to protect public health. These guidelines specify the maximum concentrations of these pollutants that are considered safe to minimize health risks, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. They serve as benchmarks for countries to assess and improve air quality, helping governments develop policies and actions to reduce pollution and safeguard community health. Following these guidelines can lead to cleaner air and healthier living environments for all.
