Aim-Impact of Air pollution on health

Learning outcome:

Even healthy people can experience health impacts from polluted air including respiratory irritation or breathing difficulties during exercise or outdoor activities. Your actual risk of adverse effects depends on your current health status, the pollutant type and concentration, and the length of your exposure to the polluted air.

High air pollution levels can cause immediate health problems including: 
  • Aggravated cardiovascular and respiratory illness
  • Added stress to heart and lungs, which must work harder to supply the body with oxygen
  • Damaged cells in the respiratory system

Long-term exposure to polluted air can have permanent health effects such as:

  • Accelerated aging of the lungs
  • Loss of lung capacity and decreased lung function
  • Development of diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and possibly cancer
  • Shortened life span
Those most susceptible to severe health problems from air pollution are:
  • Individuals with heart disease, coronary artery disease or congestive heart failure
  • Individuals with lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Pregnant women
  • Outdoor workers
  • Older adults and the elderly
  • Children under age 14
  • Athletes who exercise vigorously outdoors
People in these groups may experience health impacts at lower air pollution exposure levels, or their health effects may be of greater intensity.

Something interesting to be noted and revert on Air pollution-

According to a study published in the journal Cardiovascular Research on October 27, 2020 about 15 percent of deaths worldwide from COVID-19 are linked to long-term exposure to air pollution.

Moral:If we don’t take a action on air pollution it will bring us to the dying planet.  

Will come up with something related to this unit tomorrow as well

Bye👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
