 With rapid industrialization and urbanization, the demand for energy, transportation and infrastructure development has skyrocketed. A number of studies have shown detrimental effects of air pollution on human health and well-being. Among all the air pollutants, particulate matter is of particular concern. Due to their very small particle size, they can penetrate deep in the human lungs and can also mix into the bloodstream. As a result, chronic exposure to particulate matter can cause many cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Monitoring of particulate matter such as PM2.5 and PM10 is crucial to reduce the pollution concentration. The pollutant concentration data generated from PM monitors serve as a basis to all pollution abatement strategies. Multiple factors govern air pollution in any region. Due to which the distribution and extent of pollution changes with regional and local conditions. PM monitoring data provides the information on pollutant concentration variability, its patterns and distribution of pollution in the region. This understanding also facilitates the identification of pollution sources. According to a 2015 report by OECD, $3 trillion worth of global economic losses can be attributed to air pollution. People's pollution exposure can be significantly reduced by taking mitigative actions based on PM monitoring data. Improvement in productivity and reduced health care costs translates to higher economic benefits. Various national and international agreements also mandate to increase the number of PM monitors. OISOMS DUSTROID is a perfect choice for a range of PM2.5 and PM10 monitoring applications. To know more about PM2.5 and PM10 monitors, click on the link in the description below.
