Chronic diseases can be influenced or caused by environmental factors. Asthma and allergies are triggered by things in the environment like dust, mold, fumes and pet dander. Long term exposure to contaminated soil, air or water can lead to kidney disease, immune deficiency or cancer. Obesity rates are higher in areas that lack sidewalks or places to exercise. Heavy metal poisoning from lead and mercury can occur from ingesting or inhaling these substances, leading to issues like anemia, brain damage or neurological problems.

Heavy metals
Heavy metals can accumulate in living things and biomagnify up the food chain. When they enter the environment in amounts higher than normal concentrations, heavy metals can have toxic effects on plants, microbes, humans, and other organisms. In plants, heavy metals reduce seed germination and damage cells, while also negatively impacting physiological processes like photosynthesis. In animals and humans, heavy metals can affect the brain, organs, and development, especially in young children and fetuses. Long-term exposure to some heavy metals, like cadmium, lead and mercury, has been linked to health issues such as kidney disease, lung damage, brain damage, and cancer.
Metal toxicity
Toxicity is a function of solubility. Insoluble compounds as well as the metallic forms often exhibit negligible toxicity. The toxicity of any metal depends on its ligands. Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs.

Lead poisoning
Lead is a blue-gray, heavy, soft metallic element that occurs naturally in the earth’s crust. It is a malleable metal, so it can be easily worked - you can hammer it into protective sheets or make pipes and bend them easily. It is dense, and has good shielding protection against radiation, so it is used as ballast or to shield against penetrating forms of ionizing radiation. Metallic lead is tasteless and odorless, although some of the oxides and salts of lead taste sweet. (This sweet taste of lead salts is a source of problems for children!). Lead is insoluble in water, but some of the salts do dissolve, hence lead salts can be carried long distances in water supplies. Lead fumes will be easily formed when lead is heated. Although there is not a lot of lead in the earth’s crust – lead is ubiquitous, especially in modern industry.

For air pollution specifically, it outlines the major causes such as transportation, industry, and other human activities. It then discusses the effects of various air pollutants on human health, plants, and materials. The effects on human health include respiratory diseases, cancer, and other issues. Air pollutants can also damage plants by interfering with photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. Materials like buildings and vehicles also deteriorate more quickly due to air pollution.
PO WER - XX LO Gdańsk - Environmental protection
Environmental protection involves practices that protect the natural environment for both nature and humans. Air pollution from energy production and industry is a major threat, releasing pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide. These pollutants are absorbed by humans and plants and can cause health issues while also contributing to acid rain and climate change. Reducing pollution requires low emission technologies as well as individual efforts to conserve resources and produce less waste.

air pollution.pptx
Air pollution occurs when harmful gases, dust, or other particles are introduced into the atmosphere, making the air dirty and potentially damaging to humans, animals, and plants. It can be caused by both natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions as well as human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation. Major air pollutants include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and ground-level ozone. Air pollution has wide-ranging negative health effects and can also damage the environment through acid rain and eutrophication. Both governmental regulations and individual actions are needed to monitor air quality and implement solutions to reduce pollution.
Enviormental pollution

Air pollution presuntion
The document defines air pollution as gases or dust in harmful amounts that can affect human health or the environment. It identifies the three main sources of air pollution as primary pollutants emitted directly into the air, secondary pollutants created by chemical reactions of primary pollutants, and examples include car exhaust and coal combustion. Air pollution can cause both short-term effects like respiratory issues and long-term health impacts such as cancer, heart disease, and neurological effects. It also damages plant and animal environments by direct contact with pollutants or indirectly through impacts on resources.

Sami
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the environment through human activity or natural disasters. There are several types of pollution including water, air, land, and noise pollution. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged into bodies of water without treatment and can disrupt food chains and spread disease. Air pollution from vehicle and industrial emissions releases particulate matter and gases that can cause respiratory illnesses. Land pollution stems from improper waste disposal, mining, and misuse of soil, which degrades the land and contaminates water and soil. Noise pollution from transportation and construction disrupts humans and animals, impacting health, productivity, and biodiversity.
Lead arsenic poisoning
Lead poisoning is caused by ingesting or inhaling lead from sources like contaminated paint, dust, soil, or water. It can be prevented by drinking purified water and avoiding lead-based materials. Symptoms include vision problems, lack of motor skills, weight loss, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Lead poisoning occurs worldwide.
Arsenic poisoning results from ingesting arsenic, which may be present in items like laundry products, tobacco smoke, bone meal, kelp, beer, salt, seafood, or untreated water. Drinking purified water can help prevent it. Symptoms are stomach aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin damage, and vision issues. Arsenic poisoning is mainly found in developing countries with limited
sources of water pollution

Chronic disease and environment
- 1. Chronic Disease and Environment What effect does environment have on chronic disease?
- 2. Some Diseases Influenced or Caused by Environment Asthma Various Cancers Obesity Allergies Immune Deficiency Diseases Kidney Disease Lead Poisoning Mercury Poisoning
- 3. Asthma and Allergies Asthma is a disease that makes it difficult to breathe. Causes episodes of wheezing, tightness in the chest, coughing, etc. Attacks are triggered by many environmental factors: dust, mold, fumes, etc. Allergies are caused by many of the same things. Dust, pet dander, mold, certain things in foods, etc. Allergic reactions can range from minor things like nasal congestion to more serious things like anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis involves swelling, hives, and closing of airway. Can result in death if medical attention is not given.
- 4. Diseases that can be caused by chemicals in environment Kidney Diseases, Immune Deficiency Diseases, and various cancers can be caused by environmental agents. If soil, air, or drinking water are contaminated and a person is exposed to them constantly (such as living in an area or working in an area with these contaminants) they can develop a disease like one mentioned above.
- 5. Obesity The area you live in can contribute to obesity. If a person lives in an area where it is hard to find places to exercise, chances of obesity go up. One example is lack of sidewalks. If it is dangerous to go for a walk because there is no safe place to do so, a person will likely choose not to go for a walk.
- 6. Heavy Metal Poisoning Lead poisoning and Mercury Poisoning Lead can be inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through skin. Eating paint chips was a common cause in the past for young children. Now some toys have lead-containing paint. Lead poisoning can cause anemia, decreased bone and muscle growth, damage to kidneys, mental delays and damage to brain and nervous system. Mercury is largely put into the air by burning coal, it ends up in water and accumulates in fish and fish eating animals. Chronic mercury poisoning causes damage to organs and brain. Causes neurological problems and blindness in some cases. Both mercury and lead accumulate in the body rather than being excreted. This is why chronic problems can occur.
