5 effective ways to curb air pollution
A survey published in Lancet Planetary Health says that “Air quality in
India is so poor that 1.2 million deaths in the country last year can be
attributed to air pollution. Adding to it another research, which was
recently published in the journal JAMA, states that exposure to air
pollution can have similar impact on your health as smoking a pack of
cigarette can have. It can cause severe damage to your lungs and is also
associated with cardiovascular diseases. The main culprit behind this
is the ground-level ozone. It is an extremely powerful oxidizing agent
that is known to cause various health related issues. WHO states that
air pollution is responsible for increased number of patients in the
hospitals and increased risk of premature death. In fact, this
international body says that air pollution is associated with an
estimated 4.2 million premature deaths world-wide. In that case, it
becomes extremely important to look for ways to effectively curb air
pollution. Here we tell you about them.
