Among air pollution’s cast of characters, ground-level ozone gas and the tiniest air pollution particles called PM2.5 play leading roles. While the PM2.5 particles come directly from our car exhaust, factories and distant coal-fired electric plants, irritating ozone gas builds up in the afternoon when sunlight chemically reacts with air pollution on hot days. The recent record-breaking heat waves dramatically increased the levels of ozone, which can cause sunburn-like effects on our delicate lungs.
Here’s how smog affects the human body. A mixture of the small PM2.5 particles get directly into our bloodstream by sneaking through the tiniest air sacs. Once in your blood stream, these air pollution particles act like cigarette smoke, triggering inflammation that makes cholesterol more sticky. This in turn promotes cholesterol blockages that build up and can cause heart attacks years later. In fact, people living in the most polluted cities in the U.S. were found to have up to a 10 percent higher chance of having a heart attack compared to those living in less polluted cities.
There is some hope for our children. The Obama administration is about to heed the advice of the Environmental Protection Agency’s scientific advisers and reverse the Bush EPA’s adoption of the lax air pollution standards supported by industry for the past 10 years. This could mean that someday going outside really can be a “breath of fresh air.”
Response to PM2.5, What smart home can do for your home?
Smart home air quality testing system uses sensor technology, ZigBee technology short-range wireless communications technology, intelligence analysis software analysis of indoor air quality testing, and open air purifier, give your family a healthy air environment. The reason can make an accurate analysis of air quality, because the gas mass sensor of the type installed indoors, for example, formaldehyde sensor, gas sensor, dust sensor, etc., corresponding to the material of each type of sensor interested react to the item feedback to the computer; software on your computer will generate analysis reports, and suggested that we figure and improve the current air situation. That science, and convenient.
Nanjing IOT Sensor Technology Co.,Ltd is the global leading supplier for IOT(Internet of Things) devices and solutions, we can supply such a air quality testing system for you and your home. For your health and your children, contact me for more information.
