A Silent But Deadly Killer: How Poor Air Quality is a Driver of Chronic Disease and What We Can Do to Protect Ourselves Now

Absolutely. Everybody living in a major urban environment in the United States and around the world should have a high quality air filter in place. And I think the secondary thing that a lot of people should be doing is they should start monitoring what their air quality looks like, both indoors and outdoors, and making a assessment about what their outdoor activity levels are going to be

Let's segue into the two and a half micrometer fund particle count, right? Because when we talk about measuring the air, we're going to talk about, you know, essentially an air meter that looks at four potential things. So there's particle mass 10, which means 10 micrometers. It's a size.

of of the particle there is particle mass two and a half two and a half micrometers which we call the fine particle mass air meters can measure volatile organic compounds and specifically can give you a measurement of how much formaldehyde is in the air so if if you have those four metrics right

With the particle mass 10 and two and a half, you're essentially counting the invisible particulates, things like, you know, exhaust particles, wildfire particles, the thing, the actual thing that's carrying something toxic to you that can get lodged in your lungs, go into the blood, reach the blood brain barrier, you're actually seeing a quantified amount of that thing that's carrying all the other bad things with it.

With a VOC count, you're looking at the off-gassing of things like furniture or paint. And specifically, what we worry about the most is formaldehyde, which is one of the VOCs, especially with things like furniture. So if your meter looks at that specifically, then you get that other subsection.
