POLLUTION IMPACT :
What can pollution do?
Different kinds of pollutants can hurt our bodies in different ways. However, some dangerous health effects come from the most common air pollutants. Here are a few:
- Premature death,
- Shortness of breath and chest pain,
- Wheezing and coughing,
- Increased risk of asthma attacks, and
- Increased treatment or hospitalization of people with lung diseases, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Who is at risk?
Someone in every family is likely to be at risk from air pollution. Does someone you love belong to one of these vulnerable groups?
- People with lung diseases, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema;
- Children and teenagers;
- People who work or exercise outdoors ;
- Adults 65 years old and older;
- People with a cardiovascular disease;
- People with diabetes;
- People with low incomes; and
- "Responders" – otherwise healthy individuals who feel the impact of air pollution at lower levels of exposure than the average person.
Please join us at the Lungs check up camp on 14th Sept. at Anand Vihar & Jhilmil. Details already posted on the blog. Next schedule of other areas to be announced soon.
Thanks
