Abstract: Recently, there are tremendous environmental problems in our world which have been caused either by nature itself or by human activities; for instance, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, transportation, construction and demolition. All of the above are contributors that have resulted in air pollution, including Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen oxide, Sulfur oxide, Volatile Organic Compounds, dioxide and furans, and particular matters (PM) which are PM10 microns and PM2.5 microns. Focusing on PM2.5, which is also known as fine particles with an aerodynamic equivalent diameter less than or equal to 2.5µm in ambient air, can affect human health in alternative ways, thus this type of pollution must be seriously taken into account and society must find solutions to prevent it.
