As PM2.5 are breathed in, they enter the lungs and the bloodstream to cause a cascade of reactions in the body such as inflammation. This increases the risk causing or worsening several chronic diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, cancer and dementia, as well as affecting maternal and child health. The consequences can ultimately be fatal.
