Smog

Air pollution is a serious problem that seems to an important issue not only for environmentalists. Smog – despite stricter emission standards and pro-ecological initiatives – is ubiquitous and the level of pollution increases every year. Particularly dangerous is particulate matter from low emissions /PM2.5 and PM10. Poland, in this respect, takes third place among the fifteen most polluted countries. PM2.5, due to their small size, permeate the masks – therefore there is no effective way to protect against them.

Polluted air, which we inhale every day, threatens human life and health – smog contributes to premature death and the occurrence of many diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems. Evidence points its negative effects on fertility, pregnancy, and increased frequency of type 2 diabetes, inflammation and even Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Besides the deterioration of human health and climate change, air pollution can lead to accelerated destruction of monuments and other cultural assets.

Atmospheric air monitoring allows to assess air quality and check what we actually breathe in. Analysis of the composition of low emissions with the use of professional equipment, i.e. AirDron and Smogobus, allow to determine the degree of air pollution and take specific preventive measures.
