Air sampling typically targets several key pollutants known to be harmful and potentially carcinogenic. These include:
Particulate Matter (PM): Tiny particles in the air that can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Organic chemicals that can easily evaporate into the air and are linked to several health issues, including cancer. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): Chemical compounds that result from the incomplete burning of organic substances and have been associated with cancer risk. Radon: A naturally occurring radioactive gas that is a known cause of lung cancer. Asbestos: A group of minerals that are resistant to heat and corrosion, known to cause mesothelioma and other cancers.
