Fine Dust (Particulate Matter) and Health
#particulate matter, #fine particulate matter (PM2.5), #Asian dust (yellow dust), #respiratory system, #mask, #KF80, #KF94, #asthma, #air pollution, #dry cough, #minor cough, #persistent cough
Fine dust consists of tiny particles floating in the air. It directly affects the respiratory tract, including the nose, bronchi, and lungs, and can also harm the whole body, including the heart, brain, and blood vessels, through the bloodstream. Long-term exposure increases the risk of asthma, reduced lung function, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. On days when fine dust levels are high, limit outdoor activities, and people at high risk are advised to wear a health protection mask.2026-06-26

Secondhand smoke exposure, also called passive smoking, means that a person who does not smoke breathes in smoke from a smoker's cigarette. Tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemicals, including carcinogens (substances that can cause cancer), and long exposure in an enclosed space can be harmful even to nonsmokers. If you are concerned about secondhand smoke, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
