Dust sampling, particularly for particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10), is essential for maintaining air quality and protecting public health across urban and industrial regions nationwide. PM 2.5 refers to fine particles that are 2.5 micrometers or smaller, while PM 10 includes larger particles up to 10 micrometers. These particles pose hazards as they can be inhaled deeply into the lungs, leading to respiratory and cardiovascular issues. Prolonged exposure to high levels of PM can result in severe health risks, especially for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with preexisting conditions.

Industries such as construction, mining, manufacturing, and transportation are significant contributors to particulate pollution. Construction activities, for instance, generate substantial amounts of dust that can impact both the workforce and surrounding communities. Similarly, industrial manufacturing facilities emit particulate matter as a byproduct of combustion and chemical processes, which can elevate pollution levels in nearby areas. These industries must monitor dust levels to comply with EPA standards and local air quality regulations to mitigate health risks and avoid potential legal repercussions.
