Long-term and short-term health risks from exposure to polluted air can be significant. Long-term exposure to polluted air can have a number of negative health effects, including the following.
Chronic bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema are just a few of the respiratory conditions that can be brought on by exposure to polluted air. Both breathing difficulties and long-term lung damage can result from these conditions.
Heart attacks and strokes are just two examples of the cardiovascular issues that air pollution has been linked to. This is due to the fact that air pollution can irritate and harm blood vessels, making it more difficult for the heart to pump blood efficiently.
Lung cancer risk has been linked to air pollution exposure, particularly exposure to fine particulate matter.
Reproductive issues: Air pollution can have a negative impact on a man's sperm count as well as increase the risk of premature birth and low birth weight in newborns.
Neurological issues: Exposure to air pollution has been linked to cognitive deterioration and a higher risk of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Air pollution exposure can aggravate allergies and lead to skin issues like rashes and acne.
