What in the air is causing you the most harm?

Nathaniel Branden once said, “The first step toward change is awareness.”

The most recent poll that we conducted on LinkedIn asked people if they know what pollutant in the air they breathe affects them the most, and the results have shown some positive signs.?

56% percent of the respondents are aware that out of all the pollutants that they are exposed to, Particulate matter is the most fatal to their health. Awareness about the impact of exposure to Carbon emissions and Dust tied with 22% each. Whereas none of the respondents were unaware of what was in the air is impacting their health.

For those who are not familiar with Particulate matter, it is a mixture of tiny particles and droplets that are suspended in the air we breathe. While you may know that exposure to Particulate matter is the most fatal to your health, the term is often misunderstood with visible dust particles. Particulate Matter is not visible to the naked eye and that is what makes them the Silent Killer. These particles are so small that they can easily enter our lungs and even our bloodstream, causing a range of health problems such as asthma, heart disease, and even premature death.

So, while it's great to see that people are becoming more aware of the dangers of air pollution, there is a lot more to know about exposure to Particulate Matter and how can we protect ourselves from it.

Keep the momentum going and learn more! about air pollution and its impact on your health.??
