Particle pollution PM2.5

Sources: PM2.5 is a type of air pollution consisting of tiny particles that come from industrial processes, vehicles, construction, agriculture, and wildfires.

Health impacts: PM2.5 inhalation harms health, causing respiratory issues, lung disease, heart disease, and premature death.

Mitigation: Strategies include emission regulations, clean energy adoption, efficient transportation, green spaces, public awareness, wildfire management, and air quality monitoring.
