The urgency to reduce air pollution levels worldwide is heightened by
nearly a decade’s worth of data from Singapore suggesting higher
concentrations of small particles in the air can trigger cardiac arrests.
Scientists examined for PM2.5 particles, which are at least 25 times
smaller than the width of a human hair (for 2.5 micrometres in diameter).
They are easily inhaled due to their diminutive size, and have been
associated to a wide range of health issues, including autoimmune disorders.
