What Are the Challenges in Studying Airborne Particles?
Studying airborne particles poses several challenges:
- Variability in exposure: Individuals may have differing levels of exposure based on location, occupation, and lifestyle. - Complexity of mixtures: Airborne particles are often composed of various substances, making it difficult to isolate specific health effects. - Long-term impacts: Some health effects of exposure may take years to manifest, requiring long-term studies and sustained funding.
