Particulate Matter (PM) is a type of air pollution that is composed of tiny particles of dust, smoke, and other substances. In the healthcare services sector, PM is of particular concern due to its potential to cause respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. PM can also aggravate existing conditions, such as asthma, and can lead to increased hospitalizations and emergency room visits. PM is monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other regulatory bodies, and standards have been established to protect public health. Healthcare providers are increasingly taking steps to reduce PM exposure, such as installing air filtration systems and using air purifiers. Companies in the PM market include Honeywell, 3M, Camfil, and IQAir. These companies provide air filtration systems, air purifiers, and other products to help reduce PM exposure in healthcare settings. Show Less Read more
