Airborne particle classification: size and type

The quality of the air we breathe has a direct impact on our health. In his latest blog post, Davide Di Dia, Application Specialist HVAC Commercial at CAREL, investigates the complex nature of our atmosphere.

He explains that air is not merely a blend of nitrogen and oxygen but a rich mixture containing various suspended particles. 

He categorises these into two main types: polluting particles originating from both natural events and industrial activities, and respiratory particles produced by human actions. 

His detailed investigation shows how particle size, from coarse particulates to ultrafine particles, influences their behaviour within the respiratory system and highlights the essential role of proper indoor ventilation in reducing health risks.
