Difference analysis of PM2.5 concentrations on the number of visiting patients in Department of Respiratory
PM2.5 is defined as the particulate matter (PM) with diameter ≤2.5 μm in air. It was found that the shorter the diameter of PM, the larger the corresponding amount concentration and the total area, which would absorb more harmful substances into human body and bring about more harms to human health (Meng et al., 2013). PM2.5, as is marked by tiny diameter, strong toxicity, longer retaining duration, remote transportation distance and no filtering resistance due to the physical construction, can enter into human body along with respiration and go deep into pulmonary alveolus for deposition, which then can disturb the gas exchange and blood circulation, thus leading to respiratory diseases.
