Air pollution is closely associated with the development of respiratory illness. Behavioral adaptations of people to air pollution may influence its impact, yet this has not been investigated in the literature. Our hypothesis is that people experience and learn the underlying air quality to decide their adaptation, and they have a stronger incentive to behaviorally adapt to the air quality as it deteriorates. We tested our hypothesis on a sample of approximately 25,700 individuals from South Korea from 2002 to 2013 that contained information on daily doctor’s visits due to respiratory disease. We matched individuals to the mean of the past seven-day concentration of the particulate matter of size between 2.5 and 10 micrometers (PM10) in their county of residence. We examined whether people living in counties with greater air pollution suffer less from respiratory disease when the concentration increases. For the analysis, we separated counties into quintiles based on their mean seven-day PM10, and regressed the binary indicator of a daily doctor’s visit with a resulting diagnosis of respiratory disease on the seven-day PM10 concentration of the county of residence interacted with the quintile dummies. The key findings are that a 1-standard-deviation increase in the seven-day PM10 concentration in the two lowest quintiles is associated with an increase of 0.054 percentage points in the likelihood of a doctor’s visit with a resulting diagnosis of respiratory disease, which is about 40% larger than the effect in higher quintiles, and the size of 1-standard-deviation gradually increases from 0.037 percentage points in the third quintile to 0.040 percentage points in the fifth quintile. The smaller increase in the likelihood of respiratory disease in more polluted locations can be explained by the behavioral adaptation to the environment, but the effectiveness of the adaptation seems limited among the highly polluted locations.

Suggestive associations of suicide with air pollutant concentrations have been reported. Recognizing regional and temporal variability of pollutant concentrations and of suicide, we undertook a detailed meta-analysis of completed suicides in relation to 5 major pollutants over 6 years in the 16 administrative regions of the Republic of Korea, while also controlling for other established influences on suicide rates. Of the 5 major pollutants examined, ozone concentrations had a powerful association with suicide rate, extending back to 4 weeks. Over the range of 2 standard deviations (SD) around the annual mean ozone concentration, the adjusted suicide rate increased by an estimated 7.8% of the annual mean rate. Particulate matter pollution also had a significant effect, strongest with a 4-week lag, equivalent to 3.6% of the annual mean rate over the same 2 SD range that approximated the half of annual observed range. These results strongly suggest deleterious effects of ozone and particulate matter pollution on the major public health problem of suicide.

The Asia Pacific Air Quality Monitoring Market size was valued at USD 77.40 Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 105.68 Million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.55 % during the forecasts periods. Air quality monitoring is the systematic process of measuring and assessing the concentration of pollutants in the air to ensure it meets established health and environmental standards. This process involves the use of various sensors and instruments to detect pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), ground-level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide. These pollutants can originate from various sources, including vehicle emissions, industrial activities, and natural events like wildfires and dust storms. Air quality monitoring can be conducted at different levels, from local to global scales. Local monitoring networks provide detailed information about air quality in specific areas, while satellite-based monitoring offers a broader view of regional and global air quality trends. The collected data is often used to calculate the Air Quality Index (AQI), a standardized indicator that communicates the level of air pollution and its potential health impacts to the public. Recent developments include: Januaru 2023: The government of India launched the Technology for Air Quality Monitoring System (AI-AQMS v1.0) developed under MeitY-supported projects. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Kolkata, in partnership with TeXMIN, ISM, Dhanbad under the ‘National program on Electronics and ICT applications in Agriculture and Environment (AgriEnIcs)’ has developed an outdoor air quality monitoring station to monitor environmental pollutants which includes parameters like PM 1.0, PM 2.5, PM 10.0, SO2, NO2, CO, O2, ambient temperature, relative humidity etc., for continuous air quality analysis of the environment., September 2022: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) launched the Asia Clean Blue Skies Program (ACBSP) to scale up ADB's investments in improving air quality in Asia and the Pacific. ADB launched the ACBSP at the Fourth Asia Pacific Clean Air Partnership joint forum in Seoul, Korea. The program supports the development and strengthening of policies and plans for ADB's developing member countries (DMCs) so that investments are stimulated in air quality projects, such as greenhouse gas reductions in energy, agriculture, transportation, industrial development, and urban development.. Key drivers for this market are: 4., Increasing Awareness and Favorable Government Policies and Non-government Initiatives for Curbing Air Pollution. Potential restraints include: 4., High Costs of Air Quality Monitoring Systems. Notable trends are: Outdoor Segment to Witness Significant Growth.
