What is it about?

Ambient air quality parameters have been assessed in an industrial area in UAE. Air Quality Index was categorized into 3 classes: unhealthy for sensitive groups (62.5%) to unhealthy (25%) to very unhealthy (12.5%). The potential health risks associated with PM2.5 is low in winter, where the prevailing meteorological conditions of lower temperatures, higher humidity, higher wind speed reduced particulate matter. The results revealed the industrial area is impacted by anthropogenic and natural sources of particulate matter.
