How Can Exposure to Particulate Matter be Reduced?
Reducing exposure to particulate matter is crucial for safeguarding children's health. Here are some practical steps:
Indoor Air Quality: Use air purifiers and ensure proper ventilation to minimize indoor pollution. Outdoor Activities: Encourage indoor activities on days when air quality is poor. Check the Air Quality Index (AQI) before allowing outdoor play. Transportation: Limit the time spent near busy roads and consider using public transportation or carpooling to reduce emissions. Household Practices: Avoid burning candles, incense, or using wood stoves, which can increase indoor PM levels.
