Air Pollution Health Effects
Respiratory Problems
- Air pollution can cause respiratory problems, such as:
- Asthma
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Lung cancer
- Pneumonia
- Particulate Matter (PM) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) are major contributors to respiratory problems
Cardiovascular Problems
- Air pollution can increase the risk of:
- Heart attacks
- Strokes
- Cardiovascular disease
- Exposure to PM, NO2, and Ozone (O3) can lead to cardiovascular problems
Neurological and Developmental Problems
- Air pollution has been linked to:
- Neurological damage
- Cognitive impairment
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Exposure to air pollutants, especially Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), can affect brain development
Other Health Effects
- Air pollution has also been linked to:
- Cancer
- Reproductive problems
- Respiratory infections
- Mental health problems
Indoor Air Quality
Sources of Indoor Air Pollution
- Indoor air pollution can come from:
- Combustion sources (e.g., stoves, fireplaces)
- Building materials and furnishings (e.g., asbestos, formaldehyde)
- Cleaning products and pesticides
- Moisture and mold
Health Effects of Indoor Air Pollution
- Indoor air pollution can cause:
- Respiratory problems
- Allergic reactions
- Cancer
- Neurological problems
- Poor indoor air quality can exacerbate existing health conditions, such as asthma
Reducing Indoor Air Pollution
- Ways to reduce indoor air pollution:
- Use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and cleaning products
- Improve ventilation and air filtration
- Remove sources of pollution (e.g., asbestos)
- Reduce moisture and prevent mold growth
