Air Data chart

What are PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10?

• PM10 – Particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometers
  (Dust, pollen, mold)
• PM2.5 – Smaller than 2.5 micrometers
  (Combustion particles, organic compounds, metals)
• PM1.0 – Smaller than 1 micrometer
  (Ultrafine particles from smoke, industrial emissions)

The smaller the particles, the deeper they can travel into your lungs and bloodstream, posing higher health risks.

⚠️ Why PM1.0 Matters

• PM1.0 particles are not filtered by your nose or throat.
• They can enter alveoli in the lungs and even the bloodstream.
• Associated with cardiovascular issues, inflammation, and neurological risks over long-term exposure.
