How does air pollution harm your brain and create pressure on the body?
Air pollution is a state of air mixed with the physical chemical normally caused by vehicle fumes and greenhouse gases thereby making clean air dirty. Air conditions like this usually cause health problems, especially breathing. In a recent study the researchers added that air pollution can also harm the human brain.
In addition, air pollution can also cause damage to anything, and anyone else. You do not have to be old and sick. You do not have to smoke or air mixed with pollutants that you can see or taste. Although some data explain that very small pollutants that can not be seen with the eyes, can harm children. Pollution can change their brain's work system, impair concentration, inhibit the chemical system that carries the hormones of the body. In short, air pollution can seriously damage the brain and body.
Lilian Calderón-Garcidueñas works at Montana University in Missoula, a physician and pathologist. He is one of the doctors who sees body tissue to diagnose illness. He searched for the kind of diseases caused by small pollutants. The researchers mentioned about these particles, they come from various sources. Such as power plants, factories, vehicles, machinery, forest fires. All of these things can cause small pollutants.
The oxygen you breathe into through the lungs through a thin membrane. If this tiny particle is inhaled by you, it will move through the bloodstream wherever your body is even to the brain. Many particulates cross the membrane into the blood. The porticulates can cause inflammation wherever they are taken with blood.
The results of some findings indicate that people living in traffic areas with air pollution will be more susceptible to Alzheimer's disease than those who live in areas that have clean air. Alzheimer's is a type of disease caused by brain damage to eliminate memory for the sufferer.
Although Alzheimer's commonly found in the elderly. But scientists believe that the disease has existed years ago and stayed in the brain of a sufferer. In a new finding released by Calderon-Garcidueñas, they saw the brains of 203 people who died aged 11 to 40 years. 99% in their brains are abnormal proteins. In these findings, the researchers concluded that the disease could occur at an early age and develops faster in children with the APOE e4 gene.
APOE gene e4 is kind genes that are often indicated Alzheimer's disease is even estimated up to 25 cases of total patients with Alzheimer's. Those who inherit the APOE e4 gene have the potential for developing more susceptible Alzheimer's disease.
Air pollution and worse child attention
Many people do not feel it and see it happen to them. Though air pollution can vary every day. Although sometimes the weather around you gets bright, you do not realize that very small pollutants are flying around you.
A new study shows that air pollution can also affect children's frenzy. Despite the small pollution though. This is particularly vulnerable, although much evidence has shown that air pollution is bad for anyone and very vulnerable to cognitive and mental children.
The research was published in peer-reviewed journal BMJ Open which examined as many as 500,000 people each under the age of 18 in Sweden. Then they compare with the effects of the effects of drugs intended for tranquilizers and anti-psychotic drugs.
"The results could mean that lower air pollution concentrations, first and foremost from traffic, can reduce psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents," says Anna Oudin, at Umeå University, who led the study. "I would worry myself if I lived in an area with high air pollution."
The researchers found that an increase of 10mcg / m3 in NO2 was closely related to the mental illness received by children. Small particles also increase as (PM2.5 and PM10), which increases by 4%. The more confused the scientists in this case is Sweden expressed as the city that has the lowest population level but the researchers found 15mcg / m3. It suggests that others have a greater challenge than Sweden.
Air pollution levels are stressful
There is plenty of evidence to have made it clear that air pollution can relate to psychiatric or mental disorders. But it turns out pollution is not only enough for mental damage alone.
It can also cause disturbance or stress on the body. According to research mentioned that dirty air can increase levels of stress hormones and blood pressure. While clean air can help heal it. It was mentioned by researchers Haidong Kan from Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and colleagues specifically looked at the health effects of particulate matter (PM).
He examined the impact of health that comes from a very small air pollution of 2.5 militaries. Particles induced by factory smoke and motor vehicles also have an impact on lung inflammation and become a major driver of cardiovascular disease.
"Our results show that small particles have an impact on the human body, which suggests that people should avoid being exposed to small particles directly including air pollution," he said.
The study tested 55 students from health departments in Shanghai, a city with a high population. The results show that levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, cortisone, epinephrine and norepinephrine increase when you breathe dirty air and similar things happen to your blood sugar. []
