Air pollution is increasing fatal diseases related to lungs and heart
For the last several years, it has been seen that at the beginning of winter, the level of air pollution in the capital Delhi and many big cities of the country reaches the severe category. Whenever there is talk of its problem in Delhi and its surrounding areas, the stubble is blamed. While an analysis was conducted by the Centre for Science and Environment, a green think tank, an assessment from October 24 to November 8 shows that vehicles contributed to more than 50 per cent of Delhi’s pollution during the early phase of this year’s winter.
Stubble smoke engulfs the entire north India. Due to which dangerous smoke goes inside people in this entire area, which increases their risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Farmers are under a lot of pressure to prepare the wheat crop immediately after the paddy crop in the field. Due to which they burn the stubble in the field even if they do not want to. Due to this, the smoke of stubble burning in the field spreads throughout the sky. However, data on biomass burning in sources outside Delhi as well as in neighbouring states show that stubble burning is not a strong cause of air pollution.
Pollution dangerous for heart health
Whatever the cause of air pollution, when there is a large amount of smoke, it makes the whole atmosphere suffocating. Talking about the corona virus, the corona uses lung cells to create a pattern like itself, or eats lung cells. Due to which breathing also becomes a very hard work for the lungs. In such a situation, it is considered very dangerous in the Corona period. It is not only harmful to the environment, but it is also harming our body.
The level of pollution increases significantly in the month of November-December, due to which it becomes very difficult to breathe in the open air. In winter, we start seeing the effect of increasing air pollution. Breathing in the air is surrounded by many types of diseases. Problems like eye irritation, sore throat, itching in the nose, sneezing become common. In many states, it increases so much in the month of November-December that it becomes difficult to even breathe open air. It can be very dangerous for heart health. A report by the American Heart Association shows that the particles of PM 2.5 present in the air are extremely harmful. Due to which the level of PM 2.5 in the air increases and the risk of heart attack increases.
Air pollution increases the risk of serious diseases
This research found that the lockdown imposed in the US due to Covid in March 2020 reduced the level of PM 2.5 in the air. Due to which the number of heart attack patients in America decreased. Air pollution is also very harmful to the lungs. Data shows that there are 5.5 crore patients of COPD i.e. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in India.
COPD i.e. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is a term that is used for serious lung diseases. In these diseases, there is a blockage in the flow of air to the lungs. Exposure to industrial smoke, smoking, long-term use of the stove and some of the other reasons that can lead to COPD. COPD is also called lung attack. If someone is exposed to it for a long time, then the risk of getting COPD increases significantly. Every year due to the increasing level of air pollution, the risk of many serious diseases increases.
Pollution takes a dangerous form in winter
The biggest impact of air pollution is seen on the lungs, which causes dangerous problems related to breathing. Due to this, hypertension, stroke increases problems like chronic lung disease, diabetes and heart attack. Many of these diseases are such that they can increase the risk of corona. When the contaminants go into the body due to air pollution, there are many changes due to infection in the internal cells of the body. It mainly has the problem of nervousness and irritability and breathlessness.
With this, copd becomes a patient of asthma or allergies. In such a situation, necessary precautions need to be taken for prevention. Air pollution takes a very dangerous form in winter, the reason for this is that ozone gas is not able to rise due to fog and cold. In such a situation, the small particles that are floating in the air, which go inside the body through the breath.
The major causes of pollution are diesel, petrol cars and smoke from factories. These particles are very harmful for people who already have asthma and COPD problems. Compared to normal, the lungs of children and the elderly are very fragile, which can spread the infection. The pollution in these winds has made it very difficult to breathe. Which has a bad effect on health.
