Common air pollution is called Particulate Matter or PM 2.5. It is the term for particles found in the air, including dust, dirt, smoke, and liquid droplets. The particles themselves are less than 2.5 micrometers in width, about thirty times smaller than a human hair. Our skin pores are about 40 - 50 micrometers, almost 20 times larger than the particles; allowing air pollutants to easily penetrate the skin. These pollutants also increase the level of free radicals, which are harmful to the skin and lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots especially on the face and neck. The name for these pollutants is PM 2.5. Scientific studies have linked increases in daily PM2.5 exposure with increased respiratory and cardiovascular hospital admissions, emergency department visits and deaths. Today, many choose to limit their time in the sun and protect their skin with sunscreen. But unlike the sun, there's little we can do to limit our exposure to air pollution, especially in urban areas. Skin problems become inevitable as particles of pollution stick to the skin, causing an imbalance in pH levels and preventing the skin's protective barrier from adequately retaining moisture. The most concentrated areas of PM2.5 are developing countries like the Middle East, South East Asia, China and Africa. The levels in those areas could be 200% higher than the average. However, despite the fact that air quality in developed countries is slightly better, the adverse health effects of PM2.5, even at lower levels, remain a global public health concern. 80% of the population in the world is exposed to PM2.5! These particles compromise the skin's ability to renew itself and to detoxify, it impairs tissue and cell functions and can cause direct damage as well. So...what's your plan for dealing with it?
