At SEWS-Global, we understand the importance of clean air for a healthy life. Unfortunately, air pollution is a significant problem globally, affecting both the environment and public health. Are you concerned about air pollution? SEWS-Global is here to help. Our website offers a variety of resources to help you manage air pollution and create a cleaner, healthier environment.
What is Air Pollution?
Air pollution is the presence of harmful substances in the air we breathe, including gases, particulate matter, and biological molecules. These pollutants can come from various sources, such as vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, and natural events like bushfires.
What are the dangers of air pollution globally?
The dangers of air pollution globally cannot be understated as it can cause some of the following health and environmental problems:
- Respiratory problems: Exposure to polluted air can cause a range of respiratory problems, such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and asthma attacks. For people with pre-existing respiratory conditions, air pollution can worsen their symptoms and increase their risk of hospitalisation.
- Cardiovascular problems: Air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular problems, including heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure. Long-term exposure to air pollution can lead to the development of chronic conditions such as heart disease.
- Cancer: Some air pollutants, such as benzene and formaldehyde, are known to be carcinogenic and can increase the risk of developing cancer.
- Neurological problems: Air pollution can also have an impact on the nervous system, with studies suggesting a link between air pollution exposure and cognitive decline in older adults.
- Low birth weight and infant mortality: Exposure to air pollution during pregnancy has been linked to low birth weight and infant mortality.
- Environmental damage: Air pollution can harm the environment by damaging crops, forests, and water bodies. It can also contribute to climate change by increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
