The EPA has set new standards for PM2.5, lowering the annual limit to 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter to protect public health.
On February 7, 2024, the EPA strengthened the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM2.5), setting the annual standard at 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter to protect public health from harmful air pollution. This change necessitates effective air quality management solutions for industries.
Understanding the New EPA PM2.5 Standards
PM2.5 refers to fine inhalable particles with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrometers and smaller. These particles pose significant health risks, including heart attacks, respiratory illnesses, and even premature death. The EPA’s decision to lower the permissible annual PM2.5 levels underscores the agency’s commitment to mitigating these health hazards.
