Disclosure
Results are expressed as the median value of the particles per cubic meter and represent an integrated 24 hour collection. These results may be published for media purposes provided the Children's Mercy Hospital logo is used to acknowledge the source. Written authorization must be provided for commercial use of the results.
Laser particle counts are the number of particles per cubic meter divided
into 6 different size ranges. A laser beam literally counts the number of
such particles as they are sucked past a detector. There is evidence that
increased numbers of particles, particularly in the smaller ranges, are
associated with heart diseases. That is why we measure it.
