We are still learning the full extent of how air pollution can damage the body, but it is increasingly evident that it affects the brain, heart and immune system as well as the lungs.
, this time of 2598 preschool children in China, found that the development of food allergies was associated with exposure to both indoor and outdoor air pollution. “Our study indicates that, in addition to gut and skin, airway may be a new route of food sensitization,” the researchers concluded.
The latest evidence suggests that indoor air quality can be as bad as a city street at rush hour. The good news is that making a few simple changes at home can help reduce the risks to your healthOne emerging area of research is the link between climate change and air pollution. Recent studies suggest that the mortality rate during a heatwave jumps when the high temperature is combined with poor air quality., extreme heat – defined according to the normal range for each city – results in a 0.
Researchers believe there could be two possible causes for this. “One is that the heat and sunshine themselves alter the mix of air pollution,” saysat Imperial College London. “That is associated with higher ozone levels and then some higher levels of secondary particles.” It may be that these pollutants are more toxic to human health.
, six individuals from the same area of the city, but with different occupations, carried personal air quality monitors to track their exposure to black carbon – tiny particles of soot – throughout the day. “What we found was a huge difference between those who are exposed to the lowest levels of pollution and those exposed to the highest,” Barratt told the conference. “What really stood out was the office worker who was working in central London – the most polluted part of the UK – had the lowest exposure because he was working in a mechanically ventilated office for most of the day. And the ambulance driver had the highest exposure, 2.5 times higher [than the office worker].
