Air pollution increases both morbidity and mortality in population [1]. Outdoor air pollution is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease throughout the world, with particulate air pollution alone responsible for over three million deaths each year [2, 3]. Increases in concentrations of daily air pollution are associated with acute myocardial infarction [4] and admission to hospital or death from heart failure [5]. These associations could be mediated through the effects of exposure to air pollutants on vascular tone, endothelial function, thrombosis, and myocardial ischaemia [6–9]. Nanomaterials can enter the human body by different ways, such as breathing, eating and skin contact in humans. After absorbed through the lung epithelium, nanomaterials can enter the blood and lymph and bone marrow and arrive to lymph nodes, spleen and heart [10–12] and then affect in coagulation and heart rhythm [13, 14]. Nanoparticles may increase bacterial mutation and have potential menance in environment and human health [15]. Studies showed that nanoparticles like TiO and C caused air pollution, inflammation and skin injury; in addition these nanoparticles accumulate in a lung and caused adverse effect on health [16].
Air pollutants include gaseous pollutants (e.g, carbon mono oxide, ozone, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide) and particulate matters (PMs). in this review article, we discuss air-polluted particle (include ambient air particles, disel exhaust, ozone
COPD can also be from the smoke of Mosquito coils. The smoke from the coils is commonly used to keep the mosquitos away. The smoke is also really bad for an individual’s health and breathing in the smoke is the equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes. The guidelines the program promotes, work to educate Indians when it comes
The Bronx is an incredibly urban and populated area attracting traffic from all over. It is home to waste sites, distribution centers, power plants, and so much more. Though each building gives off a different type of waste, whether it be smog from smokestacks or diesel exhaust from trucks, each of these large sites that exist throughout this small area give off a fine particulate matter known as PM2.5. This matter is essentially what contributes to the difficulty breathing people experience as these tiny particles can become lodged in a person’s lungs over time. Studies have consistently found a strong correlation between PM2.5 and conditions like asthma, lung disease, and heart disease.
My research was completed at the vascular research lab located at the VA Medical Center. We investigated one of the molecular components of cigarette smoke, the unsaturated aldehyde acrolein, as a cause of increased lung vascular permeability. We studied whether acrolein mediates the effects of cigarette smoke exposure via modification of subcellular proteins that function to maintain an impermeable endothelial monolayer in the lung microcirculation. I learned that proper documentation and precise repetition yields consistent and reproducible results. With consistent data, we were able to conclude that protein carbonylation transpired in treatment groups of cigarette smoke and acrolein exposure.
It is possible for the negative impacts of air pollution to spread throughout the entire body, damaging a variety of organs and body parts, while diminishing the body’s ability to effectively function. The fine pollutant particulates, through entry into the lungs, can gain access to portions of the cardiovascular system, causing harm to the heart and blood
Mott Haven which is 1.181 mi² have been primarily a residential neighborhood in the southwestern section of the Bronx borough in New York City. Zip codes include 10451, 10454, and 10455. This site includes various things such as provisioning services, regulating services, cultural services, and supporting services. This site is also full of water sources, natural gases, and very biodiverse which are being polluted by human activities. Pollution can be physical chemical or biological and can affect water air or soil.
Contaminated air in the U.S. threatens Americans’ lives. Over several decades, our air has improved. However, the air is still harmful to everyone. Pollution from factories that use coal are a major cause of air pollution. One of the most dangerous issues with air pollution is dust and soot.
In Some parts of north america, air pollution is so high that if you breathe the air for a period of time it can cause severe damage and sometimes death. In the U.S air pollution causes as much as 50,000 deaths per year. For example, currently in Spokane the AQI can problems for people with lung problems. In Fresno and Madera the pollution over time can increase the risk of asthma, heart disease, COPD(Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and diabetes. Even in most urban areas the amount of air pollution increases the chance of getting strokes, heart disease, lung cancer, and chronic/acute respiratory diseases.
Air pollution is dangerous to the way we live because it’s harmful chemicals that are oils gasses and other chemicals. Air pollution is controversial because people believe that it’s still out there harming the way we live and harming the planet. Industrialized countries have worked to reduce levels of sulfur dioxide, smog, and smoke in order to improve people's health. Volcanic eruptions from volcanos is also endangering the life style by balking the sun and putting out ash and smoke. Motor vehicles – cars, trucks and SUVs – account for about half the air pollution in the United States air pollution is chemicals in the air that are produced by motor cars and all the chemical plants such as gas plants, oil plants and landfills.there were other
My Vision for America My vision for the future America is less air pollution. Air pollution needs to be reduced because it kills 7 million or more people a year globally, 80 percent of them from heart disease and stroke. Also, Air pollution destroys and damages 5 billion dollars’ worth a year of crops and trees.

Recently, air pollution has been changed since 1950s, Firstly in 1950s, air pollution was visible and mostly caused by factories. Now, air pollution has become invisible because of the cars and vehicle pollution. The main reason for this rising problem is because people are vehicle independent. In conclusion, governments should take actions to this urgent issue which risks to people 's health.
Gases like Carbon Monoxide have the potential to kill people if taken in large concentration. The consequences of these pollutants in human health are
The American Cancer Society has discussed that air pollution, radon gas as well as other cancer-causing agents such as asbestos and also diesel exhaust are main risk factors for having lung cancer. The perfect protection against
CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION The air we respire contains mixture of natural and man-made chemical, physical and biological elements that modifies ambient air quality. Among all air pollutants, the most threatening for human health include particulate matter and gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (WHO). The movement of people into urban areas and the growth of industry within these areas has carried more people into contact with air pollution than any other time in recent memory.
There are many problems that threatens society and one problem in particular, air pollution is a problem that threatens everyone. Air pollution is the contamination of air with pollutants that are harmful to humans, animals, and the environment. It began to be a problem when humans discovered the uses of fire and then the amount of air pollution exponentially grew after the industrial revolution, and is still a problem even today. The largest causes of air pollution are from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and gas emissions from manufacturing plants. There are ways that ordinary people can help contribute to prevent air pollution and or else face the dangerous consequences of polluted air.
