The World Health Organization guidelines were most recently updated in 2021.[1] The guidelines offer guidance about these air pollutants: particulate matter (PM), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The WHO first released the air quality guidelines in 1987, then updated them in 1997.[2] The reports provide guidelines intending to give guidelines to reduce the health effects of air pollution.[2]
The guidelines stipulate that PM<sub id="mwGQ">2.5</sub> should not exceed 5 μg/m3 annual mean, or 15 μg/m3 24-hour mean; and that PM<sub id="mwHQ">10</sub> should not exceed 15 μg/m3 annual mean, or 45 μg/m3 24-hour mean. For ozone (O3), the guidelines suggest values no higher than 100 μg/m3 for an 8-hour mean and 60 μg/m3 peak season mean.[2] For nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the guidelines set 10 μg/m3 for the annual mean or 25 μg/m3 for a 24-hours mean.[2] For sulfur dioxide (SO2), the guidelines stipulate concentrations not exceeding 40 μg/m3 24-hour mean.[2] For carbon monoxide concentrations not exceeding 4 mg/m3 24-hour mean.[2]
