Air Pollution effect on human health

A] Importance

Air pollution is the contamination of air due to the presence of substances in the atmosphere that are harmful to the health of humans and other living beings, or cause damage to the climate or to materials.[1] It is also the contamination of indoor or outdoor surrounding either by chemical activities, physical or biological agents that alters the natural features of the atmosphere.[1] There are many different types of air pollutants, such as gases (including ammonia, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane and chlorofluorocarbons), particulates (both organic and inorganic), and biological molecules. Air pollution can cause diseases, allergies, and even death to humans; it can also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and crops, and may damage the natural environment (for example, climate change, ozone depletion or habitat degradation) or built environment (for example, acid rain).[2] Air pollution can be caused by both human activities[3] and natural phenomena.

Global air quality is closely linked to global climate and ecosystems. Many of the contributors to air pollution are also sources of pollution Section Greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel combustion.

Air pollution, respiratory, cardiovascular, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke and lung cancer. There is a lot of evidence that air pollution Article : Decreased IQ, cognitive impairment, [6] Increased risk of mental disorders such as depression [7] and Perinatal health problems. The effects of bad air on human health are significant, but the main effect is on the body. Respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Individual responses to air pollution depend on the type of air pollution to which an individual is exposed. Article The recipient and the exposure are related to a person's health and genetics.

B] Objective

Air pollution is estimated to cost the world economy $5 trillion a year in lost productivity and reduced quality of life. Section Section is sometimes overlooked and ignored. Various pollution control methods and techniques can be used to reduce pollution. Many international and national laws and regulations have been created to prohibit it. Section Adverse effects of pollution. Local policies, if implemented properly, can lead to significant improvements in population. Health. Some of these efforts have been carried out internationally, such as the Montreal Protocol [32], which reduced Section Releases of Ozone Depleting Chemicals and the 1985 Helsinki Protocol on the Reduction of Sulfur Emissions, [33] while others, such as Section International action to address climate change, have been less successful.

A fossil fuel[a] is a hydrocarbon product such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas [2] that forms in the Earth's crust. The remains of dead plants and animals are extracted and burned as fuel. Fossil fuels can be burned to provide heat for use Section Energy. Some fossil fuels are converted to derivatives such as kerosene, gasoline, and propane before they are burned. Historical Fossil fuels are the anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms and contain organic molecules produced through photosynthesis. The conversion of these materials into carbon-based fossil fuels usually requires geological processes over millions of years. In 2019, 84% of the world's primary energy consumption and 64% of electricity came from fossil fuels. Large-scale The burning of fossil fuels causes great harm to the environment. More than 80% of carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced by human activities. Of this figure, 4,444 tonnes (about 35 billion tonnes per year) comes from coal, while 4 billion tonnes come from land development. [9] Most of the on Earth is absorbed by the oceans through natural processes, and only a small part can be removed. Therefore, the increase is hundreds of millions of tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide per year. Despite the seriousness of methane leaks, [12]: 52 fossil fuels are a major source of greenhouse gases that cause global warming and ocean acidification. In addition, many of the pollutants are deadly. due to fossil fuel particles and toxic gases. It is estimated that this costs more than 3% of the world's gross domestic product. [13] Weaning off fossil fuels will save millions of lives every year.

C] Aim

Fossil fuels are easily burned in the atmosphere and var. Peat has a long history of use as a household fuel. Some early furnaces burned coal to melt iron. ore was used solely for waterproofing, although semi-solid hydrocarbons from oil spills were also burned in ancient times.[32] Section Commercial extraction of petroleum began in the 19th century. a Natural gas, once burned as an unwanted byproduct of the petroleum industry, is now considered a valuable resource. Natural gas deposits are also a large source of helium. Heavy oils (weaker than regular crude oil) and petroleum (bitumen mixed with sand) and clay began to become more important than fossil fuels in the early 2000s. Oil shale and similar materials Sedimentary rocks containing kerogen, a complex mixture of high molecular weight organic compounds that can produce synthetic crude oil Oil when heated (pyrolysis). With further processing, they can be used to replace other existing fossil fuels. time a Section Investments declined in the 2010s and 2020s because the high carbon prices of these resources made resources more easily affected. storage.

Before the second half of the 18th century, windmills and water wheels were provided. Chop wood or pump water when burning wood or peat to heat a home. The widespread use of fossil fuels, primarily coal and then oil, began a revolution in the engine room. Meanwhile, batteries use gas or oil is widely used. The invention of the internal combustion engine and its use in cars and trucks The demand for gasoline and diesel, both of which are produced from fossil fuels. Other means of transportation such as trains and airlines are also necessary Fossil fuels. Another important use of fossil fuels is to generate electricity and to provide raw materials for the petrochemical industry. Tar, a type of The rest of the oil extracted is used in road construction. Energy for the Green Movement comes from fossil fuels in the form of natural gas, oil and pesticides.

Hydrocarbon fuel irrigation. Development of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers is greatly increasing the world's population development; It is estimated that almost half of the world's population is now dependent on nitrogen fertilizers there are. "50% of the world's food is based on chemical fertilizers," said the head of the fertilizer trade association.

D] Methodology

Rewrited-Text re_check Efforts in forest management range from natural management in natural conditions to extensive forestry efforts. Article The intensity of interventions in forest management is often increased to achieve economic objectives (increased timber production, non-timber forest products, ecosystem services) or ecological structures (renewable species, rare species, carbon Section storage) Proportion of forest area under long-term management by region in 2020 Most forests in Europe have management plans; on the other hand, less than 25% of companies have controls. Africa has less than 20% of forests, while South America has less than 20%. Forest area planning has increased in all regions – globally, Section it has increased by 233 million hectares since 2000 and will reach 2.05 billion hectares by 2020.

products come from sustainably managed forests. This is a voluntary, non-biased third-party process The organization evaluates the quality and results of forest management according to the system established by the state or government Physical Operation Certificate. Section To increase public awareness of natural rights, including forest management. Section The focus of forest management shall shift from logging for economic development to promotion Section The management of ecosystem services provided by forests, including habitat provision for wildlife and conservation of biodiversity, Watershed Management and Recreational Opportunities. Greater environmental awareness may help Public distrust of forest professionals. However, it may also lead to a better understanding of the roles of professionals.

Forests are used for nature conservation and ecological services. The importance of forest conservation in terms of ecology and the environment is covered in the series Axeman, profitable businesses are making profits. Various tools have been developed to improve forest characteristics, including remote sensing, GIS, and photogrammetric models. Management Planning. The number of trees in the United States has increased by 90% since 1953 due to sustainable development Forest Management.

E] Observations

We identified a total of six AAP epidemiologic studies that considered acute health effects. Two respiratory health effect studies considered a range of upper and lower respiratory outcomes (all in children), one study considered stroke, and three other studies considered mortality outcomes. However, we note that only half (N = 3) of these studies assigned short-term (acute) exposure from AAP measurements to derive exposure–response relationships, while the other three studies assigned exposure using long-term concentrations (e.g., annualized or three-year averages). In addition, two of the three studies that used long-term concentration exposure data may further be classified as “ecological” designs since health outcomes and pollutant exposures were aggregated to large spatial units (e.g., country-level or region-level) rather than studying exposure–response relationships at the individual-level. Two of these studies were prospective designs and both were conducted in Durban, South Africa. Each of these six AAP acute health effects studies are summarized in turn.

A panel study from South Africa recruited school-aged children (N = 423) from Durban schools [20]. This study measured PM10, SO2 and CO at the participant’s school and utilized NO2 and NO ambient air measurements collected from eight government air monitoring sites as well as O3 ambient air measurements collected at two other government air monitoring sites. Both single- pollutant and bi-pollutant associations were investigated for several acute lower respiratory outcomes. Self-report logs of acute respiratory symptoms were recorded multiple times during the day. Acute symptoms included cough, wheezing, shortness of breath (SOB), chest tightness or heaviness. Significant associations were observed for each air pollutant, with all but one resulting in adverse effects. Cough, SOB and chest symptoms were all higher with increasing PM10, SO2, NO2, and NO concentrations. Wheeze was also higher with increased NO2 but lower with higher NO. The strength of these associations for each individual pollutant depended on the number of day lags, with cough most consistently stronger for same day or five-day lags and chest tightness consistently strongest on same day exposure. There was no clear pattern for the other outcomes with respect to lag-days. This study did not, apparently, collect important information related to biomass fuel use at participant’s homes.



F] Conclusions

Although the problem of human-induced environmental pollution is difficult to eliminate, a good solution can be found Section Close cooperation between authorities, organizations and doctors to control the situation. The government should publish sufficiently Article In order to educate and inform the public, experts should be involved in these problems in order to control the occurrence of problems. Article Effectiveness Environmental pollution control measures shall be developed and implemented for all commercial and industrial facilities.

This The 1997 Kyoto Protocol set an ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to less than 5% by 2012 (123). follow The 2009 Copenhagen Summit (124) and then the 2011 Durban Summit (125) decided to remain in the same class Section Action. The Kyoto Protocol and the protocols that followed it have been ratified by many countries. Among the pioneers of this method is China, an important authority on the "health" of the world environment and climate (3). As we all know, China is a rapidly developing country and its economy and GDP (gross domestic product) are expected to be very high by 2050; this year is expected to be a boom year.

Agreement on reducing carbon emissions. The latest international agreement on climate change is the 2015 Paris Agreement, UNFCCC (United Nations Panel on Climate Change). This latest agreement has been ratified by many United Nations countries, including EU countries (126). In this spirit, all parties need to support action and action. Section develops many aspects of this concept. Supporting education, training, public awareness and public participation are some of the issues. Section is about increasing the time frame for achieving goals and objectives.
