Breathing polluted air puts
you at a higher risk for
asthma and other
respiratory diseases. Ozone
and traffic pollutants can
trigger an asthma attack,
there is also emerging
evidence for onset of asthma
associated with exposure to
pollution.
Air pollutants are mostly
carcinogens and living in a
polluted area can put people
at risk of Cancer. Cancer risk
increases with exposure to
toxic air contaminants, such
as benzene, formaldehyde
and diesel particulate matter.
Brain requires a high amount of energy. Hence there is a
high demand for oxygen supply. Decreased oxygen content
in air leads to inadequate energy supply to the brain. There
is also the risk of headaches, depression, anxiety, etc.
Being in pollution can cause irritation in the throat, lungs, and eyes.
For most healthy adults, ill effects of being in pollution clear up as
soon as the air quality improves. Children, elderly individuals, and
people with asthma, emphysema, angina, and other lung and/or
heart problems may feel the effects more acutely.
Exposure to air pollution during pregnancy can increase your risk of
premature birth, stillbirth and low birth weight. Stillbirth is when a
baby dies in the womb after 20 weeks of pregnancy. While you work
at minimizing the air pollution, you may as well monitor the air
quality around you. Prkruti to make it easier.
