2024年6月20日 · Some particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter can get deep into your lungs and some may even get into your bloodstream. Of these, particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, also known as fine particles or PM 2.5, pose the greatest risk to health.

Check out the real-time air pollution map, for more than 80 countries. Can not find your city on the map? The GAIA air quality monitor uses laser particle sensors to measure in real-time PM2.5 and PM10 particle pollution, which is one of the most harmful air pollutants.

PM2.5 refers to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, which is about 3% the diameter of a human hair. Commonly written as PM 2.5, particles in this category are so small that they can only be seen with a microscope.

2024年8月16日 · PM 2.5 describes fine inhalable particles, with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrometers and smaller. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA sets and reviews national air quality standards for PM. Air quality monitors measure concentrations of PM throughout the country.

2024年7月16日 · Fine particles (PM 2.5) are the main cause of reduced visibility (haze) in parts of the United States, including many of our treasured national parks and wilderness areas. Learn more about visibility and haze. Particles can be carried over long distances by wind and then settle on ground or water.

2023年7月11日 · Smaller particles, such as PM2.5, pose a greater risk as they can penetrate deep into the respiratory system and even enter the bloodstream, causing a range of adverse health effects. PM levels are typically measured in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) of air.

2024年9月30日 · But PM 2.5, also known as fine particles, has the potential to penetrate deep into the lungs and contribute to health problems. PM 2.5 can enter indoor environments from outdoor sources such as vehicle emissions, industrial pollutants, and …

PM2.5 is used when describing pollutant levels both outdoor and indoor, where health impact from exposure considers amount of PM2.5 over a 24-hour period. Most studies indicate PM2.5 at or below 12 μg/m 3 is considered healthy with little to no risk from exposure.

2023年6月22日 · Have you heard of PM2.5 in the news? We’ll cover what PM2.5 is, how it impacts health, and ways to minimize inhalation.

PM 2.5, or fine-particle air pollution, consists of airborne particles measuring less than 2.5 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter, and is most often produced as a result of combustion. Breathing these particles over a long period of time can make you sick in a number of ways.
