EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

Environmental health experts and cardiologists at the University of Southern California (USA) have just demonstrated for the first time what until now was just a suspicion of atmospheric pollution in large cities affect cardiovascular health. Research has found a direct relationship between increased air pollutant particles and the city wall thickening of the arteries (the "intimate media"), which is a proven indicator of atherosclerosis. The persistent effect of polluting the atmosphere, in a silent process of years, leading eventually to the development of acute cardiovascular conditions such as heart attacks.
 To inspire environmental particles with a diameter less than 2.5 micrometers, enter the smaller airways and then irritate the artery walls. The researchers found that for every increase of 10 micrograms per cubic meter of these particles, disruption of intimal medial wall of the arteries increased by 5.9%. Smoke snuff and that usually comes from the exhaust of cars produce the same amount of these particles.  
Stringent clean air standards contribute to better health with large-scale effects.  
Another effect is the weakening of the ozone layer that protects living things from the Sun's ultraviolet radiation due to stratospheric ozone depletion by Cl and Br from pollution, or global warming caused by increased of atmospheric CO2 concentration that accompanies the massive burning of fossil fuels. Unfortunately employers and their governments are not considered part of nature or the environment around him, or take any awareness of the damage they do to the planet, and indirectly to itself, at the same rate that occurs, except to withdraw their pollutants in their regions.
Increasingly deteriorating planet It endangers the lives of plants, animals and people Generates physical damage to individuals Becomes a non consumable water In the contaminated soil is not possible to plant

  2. Preventing air pollution is not just the job of the government or the environmental activists we have to help to clean the air as much is possible is something that everyone can contribute. Making just a few changes at home make sure that all of the appliances you have in your home are working at top level and are all items that do not pollute the air. Choose water based or low amounts of volatile compound products whenever possible. Switch to a push mower for grass cutting. Use water based paints. When painting, use a brush to paint instead of using a paint sprayer, and women please do not use hairspay you can use other products like mousse or gel, but not hairspay because hairspray ruins our ozone layer and the ozone layer is almost gone so try not to use hairspray that much. or use it inside. our ozone layer is thin and we need it. it is the only thing keeping us not direct with the solar system. it surrounds the earth. PLEASE HELP OUR PLANET!!! (>_<)
