High Time To Stop Air Pollution!!

According to a research done by Monash University (Australia) and abroad a new international study has been found that air pollution is majorly linked with the cause of increasing deaths due to cardiovascular and respiratory problems. The study is one of the most unique studies and is considered the largest of its kind investigation which worked on the short-term impacts of air pollution causing deaths. It was conducted over a long period of 30-years. The research was conducted in 24 countries and regions and analyzed data regarding air pollution and mortality.
Another study which was led by Dr Haidong Kan from Fudan University in China it was analyzed in 652 cities across 24 countries and regions and data on air pollution and mortality was found. It indicated that the increases in total deaths are somewhere linked to exposure of humans to inhalable particles (PM10) and fine particles (PM2.5) that are emitted from fires or are formed through atmospheric chemical transformation.
Contrary to this an Associate Professor, Yuming Guo from Monash University's School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Australia, said that there's no threshold for the association between particulate matter (PM) and mortality and even low levels of air pollution can result in increase of the risk of death.
Professor Guo further said that the adverse health effects are well known for raising public health concerns due to its toxicity and widespread exposure and it has been well documented.
The fact also informs that the smaller the size of airborne particles is the more easily it can penetrate deep inside into the lungs and can result in drastic absorption of more and more toxic components which can ultimately cause death situations.
Professor Guo also mentioned that the extensive evidence on human’s health impacts, PM10 and PM2.5 are now regulated through the World Health Organization (WHO) Air Quality Guidelines and standards check in major countries.
These studies and results clearly state that how much this is hazardous. We as humans consume it daily and thus preventive measures should always be taken as the speed by which the respiratory and cardiovascular disease are increasing needs to be slowed down and its high time for it.
