Story: Why are air filters important?
A total of 10,000 liters of air enters the lungs every day. 420
liters of oxygen is extracted through this. Which is very important for human
survival and functioning. The air we breathe determines the health of the lungs
as well as other organs. Clean air is considered a basic requirement for human
health and well-being. However, air pollution remains a significant threat to
health worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that nearly 7
million people died as a result of exposure to air pollution in 2012,
confirming that air pollution is now the world's largest single environmental
health risk.
The effects
of pollution on respiratory health are well known. The WHO factsheet reveals
that there is a strong link between air pollution exposure and cardiovascular
diseases, such as stroke and ischemic heart disease, as well as air pollution
and cancer. Over the past decade, research and awareness of the harmful effects
of air pollution on the brain, cognition, and behavior have grown
exponentially.
The
Multicenter European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)
study—one of the largest ongoing studies initiated to assess the effects of air
pollution on population health—has generated significant data over the past 6
years, involving 367,251 subjects. The research findings, published in more
than 25 publications, provide insight into the correlation between air
pollution and increased cerebrovascular and coronary events, as well as
increased respiratory morbidity.
In a
recently published analysis of the largest ever population-based study on the
distribution, causes and risk factors of major diseases worldwide, the Global
Burden of Disease (GBD) study, air pollution, and exposure to particulate
matter ranked as one of the top 10 risk factors for disease worldwide. More
significant is the fact that indoor air pollution (HAP) is a major risk factor
for poor health in South Asia.
Air quality
in homes, offices, schools, daycare centers, public buildings, healthcare
facilities, or other private and public buildings where people spend a large
part of their lives is an essential determinant of healthy lives and human
well-being, says. WHO guidelines for indoor air quality. Hazardous substances
emitted from buildings, construction materials, and indoor appliances, or due
to human activities, such as the combustion of fuels for cooking or heating,
lead to a wide range of health problems. -Editor
