Verified by ExpertsC
According to the CPCB, particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less (PM 2.5) causes the most significant health damage
These fine particles are so small that they can be inhaled deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream directly
Once inside, they lead to severe respiratory problems, inflammation, and long-term cardiovascular damage
