Air pollution and Health
The article provides a thorough explanation of the science behind air pollution and how it affects human health. It covers a wide range of topics, including meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, particle physics, the aetiology and epidemiology of allergic reactions, as well as respiratory, cardiovascular, and other related problems.
World wild coverage of air pollution
Additionally, there are sections on economic implications, risk assessment, legislation, standards, and information networks as well as worldwide coverage. The multidisciplinary approach and the breadth of topics addressed should give readers knowledge on all ambient air pollution-related issues.
Hazardous in Air
Many natural and/or manmade processes can release hazardous substances into the environment, which may have negative consequences on both human health and the environment.
The gradual alteration in the composition of the atmosphere over the past century is caused by increased fossil fuel combustion.
Other chemical in Air
The chemical makeup, reaction characteristics, emission, time of disintegration, and ability to diffuse over long or short distances vary among air pollutants like carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ozone (O3), heavy metals, and respirable particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10).
Impacts of Air pollution on health
Human health is impacted by air pollution in both acute and long-term ways, affecting numerous systems and organs.
It can cause anything from a mild upper respiratory irritation to lung cancer, chronic bronchitis in adults and children, aggravation of pre-existing heart and lung illness, or even asthmatic attacks.
Is air pollution effected on health?
Additionally, both short- and long-term exposures have been connected to decreased life expectancy and premature mortality.
It is briefly addressed how air pollutants affect human health as well as how they work.
