Air Quality and Health Condition
Air quality is a hot topic every century, especially today when the traffic density increases and there are more industries and cars in every city. Filters for air cleaning exist, but this is not always enough. Considering all these factors, it is crucial to monitor air quality, which is based on air quality index metrics. Air quality mainly impacts sensitive persons, but if the index metrics reach higher values, the impact can be significant even for healthy people. The most common contaminants are PM 2.5, PM10, and O3. They can primarily damage the lungs, alveoli, airways, and vessels. They can also cause severe allergic reactions and irritation. The level of concentration and health condition depend on it.
