| الوصف: | Air pollution is one of the largest environmental risks to human health. There are many different types of air pollutants, but particles from combustion, tyre wear and other sources have the largest negative effects of all air pollutants. Particles are present in all the air we breathe, in different sizes, shapes and compositions, and they can affect human health regardless of how high or low the concentrations are. It has long been well known that particles, smoke and soot are dangerous, but how much do we know about new types of particles or new sources? Research gives us a better understanding of the factors that make particles dangerous and of what we need to do to prevent adverse health effects. Research on particles is therefore vital, and every year it contributes new knowledge about effects on health, the environment and the climate. But it is absolutely crucial that politicians and administrative organisations translate research findings into action and ensure that we achieve as ambitious a regulatory framework and implementation as possible, with a focus on impactful improvements.Particles are monitored through the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's national environmental monitoring programme and locally by municipalities. Monitoring trends in concentrations over time and knowing the sources of particles are crucial for developing effective measures. There are significant socio-economic benefits from reducing particle concentrations.This report is part of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s series Air & Environment within the national environmental monitoring programme. The report’s authors include stakeholders active within the national air quality monitoring and researchers and experts at universities, research institutes and public agencies. A great deal of knowledge exists about particles, and the aim of this publication is to convey some of this knowledge so that we can work together to achieve cleaner air. |
