Air pollution and fine particulate matter PM2.5 are major environmental health risks.
Because these microscopic particles are small enough to deeply penetrate the lungs and enter the bloodstream, they cause and worsen a wide variety of severe respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological illnesses.
Respiratory diseases include asthma, pulmonary disease, and respiratory infections.
Cardiovascular diseases include heart attacks and ischemic heart disease, stroke and arrhythmia.
Cancers and Systemic Illnesses include lung cancer, metabolic and kidney diseases and neurological disorder as well as adverse birth outcomes.
