Symptoms of Air Pollution
- Irritation eyes, nose and throat
- Coughing
- Irritation eyes, nose and throat
- Coughing
- Chest tightness
- Shortness of breath
Who at risks?
- People with heart disease
- People with heart disease
Air pollution put pressure on the heart and requires more effort to supply oxygen to the body. It will raise risks of heart attack.
- People with lung disease
Individuals with asthma, emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – air pollution can lead reduce lung capacity and decrease lung function.
- Pregnant women
May affect the growth and development of infants (defects or premature death). There is study about air pollution particles found on foetal side of placentas. It might cause higher risk in miscarriages.
- Children
Will reduce their immune system problems and cause disease (shortening the life expectancy of children by 20 months)
What is PM2.5?
Particulate Matter (PM) is complex mixture such as smoke, metals, nitrates, sulfates, dust, water and tire rubbers. Smaller size particles such as PM2.5 (diameter of 2.5 micron) can penetrate deep inside lung and bloodstream can cause health problem. Long term exposure to particulate pollution will lead to significant health problems.
How dangerous is PM2.5?
PM2.5 can penetrates deep into the lungs and once enter, it will never come out. Short term exposure to PM2.5 will cause asthma attacks, acute bronchitis, respiratory infections and heart attack.
Do you think your air quality in the car better?
In fact, compared with the outside air pollution, the air pollution index inside the car is higher, up to nine to twelve times. This is due to the air circulation in air trapped in the car. Studies have shown Pm2.5 exposure will cause children have higher risk of lung growth problem and increase the risk of allergies, leading to asthma and other respiratory diseases.
How about our lovely home?
Like the car, the indoor air does not circulating and it cause poor indoor air quality. This also will cause people in the house to be susceptible to bacterial infections and have risk of chronic lung disease such as lung cancer and asthma.
