What are the effects of pollution on health...??? Pollution and Human health.


What is effect pollution?



In this blog, we are going to learn about the effects on our health from a range of air pollutants if you live in the city you may already be aware of the effects of hair pollution on your health you may already have had some breathing discomfort or painful eyes and ones that we'll be focusing on in this video are particulate matter called pms ozone o3 nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide more often than not these pollutants exist there's a direct result of human activity one such human activity is the burning of fossil fuels in power stations or cars particulate matter is a mixture of sulfates nitrates ammonia sodium chloride carbon mineral dust and water it consists of a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles of organic and inorganic substances suspended in the air ...

Causes of pollution...



 Particles are identified according to their aerodynamic diameter as either pm10 particles with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 10 microns or PM 2.5 these have aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 microns in comparison the average size of a human hair is 60 microns PM 2.5 s are more dangerous since when inhaled they may reach deep into the lungs and interfere with gas exchange the health effects of particulate matter are felt in both the developed and developing world chronic exposure to particles contributes to the risk of developing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases typically asthma as well as lung cancer ozone o3 absorbs harmful UV rays from the Sun in the upper atmosphere and can help prevent the increase risk of skin cancer however ground-level ozone causes problems it does so photochemical reaction which is triggered by the absorption of light the reactions between nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds lead to the formation of a photochemical smog and ground ozone you see this more often in the sum3mer.

what is pollution...???



  It can appear as an orange brown haze over a city this smog include in the ground ozone causes breathing problems can trigger asthma attacks and lead to lung disease next nitrogen dioxide emissions come from cars and factories where fuels are combusted you may recall oxygen forms about 21% of our atmosphere whilst nitrogen forms 79% in a hot engine a tiny amount of nitrogen atoms join with oxygen atoms to form mixtures of nitrogen oxides called NMX studies have proven that there is a causal relationship between the symptoms of bronchitis a respiratory disease been seen in children with asthma as a result of long-term exposure to this pollutant finally there is sulphur dioxide can you think how this chemical might be formed stop the blog and continue and ready the correct answer is that any sulphur combusted in the presence of oxygen typically coming from fossil fuels which naturally contain tiny amounts of sulfur and also the smelting of mineral ores lead to the formation of sulfur dioxide in turn these pollutants affect the respiratory system and cause irritation of the eyes if you breathe this in you're more likely to cough or scream or mucus and will be a higher risk of developing chronic bronchitis in summary all are causing unnecessary deaths especially where the emissions of these pollutants can be avoided for the use of catalytic converters in cars and by scrubbing of power station gases you...

Thanks for reading my blog.
