What are the disadvantages of air pollution?
Air pollution:
As we come outside our home and experience difficulty in breathing, it is caused by Air pollution. Mainly harmful gases like NO2, SO2, Ozone, Particulate matters(dust), cigarettes, smokes produced by burning different types of waste & garbage, Industries and vehicles pollute the air. And it is the reason behind disease like Asthma, Cancer, Lungs disease, Brain disease, Obesity and other respiratory problems in children.
Baby Sleep Problems: Solutions, Tips & Tricks for Parents
How it affects our babies?
Day by day the no. of trees are being cut down. As trees are becoming less, pollutants available in air are not being filtered out. So air remains polluted which results in different types of disease. These disease can not be tolerated and neglected as some of them are very harmful and dangerous.
More air we take in the polluted environment, more we intake the pollutants and germs present in atmosphere. As kids have a higher rate of breathing than us, so all the disease caused by air pollution make babies their first victim.
In comparison with adults, their immune system remains weak and in developing phase. Hence the effects of airborne disease show up in kids first. These pollutant present in air enter in their body during they breathe and result in the most severe disease like Asthma and Lungs problems as said above.
Some of the serious disease caused by air pollution are as follows:
Asthma:
More the air we take, pollutants present in the air enter our body and hit on different organs. It can be lungs, throat or respiratory organs. Most crucial thing is that we can’t stop breathing.
Babies who breathe at a higher rate than us, are the most vulnerable to this issue and have to be taken care most. Germs enter inside the body with air and don’t come out easily. They stick to different organs like throat, veins in kid’s developing body. And create problems in their breathing by reducing the amount of oxygen present in air. As a result, body requires more air from outside. So breathe rate of kid is increased and thus more pollutants enter inside the kid’s body. The cycle continues and babies who have high exposure to polluted air are caused with Asthma.
Lungs disorder:
The pollutant which entered once in kids body, starts damaging the other organs inside. And the first thing they strike on, is Lungs. As lungs are responsible for all respiratory functions inside the body, they remain more prone to these pollutants.
All the air taken inside is filled in lungs. Blood takes oxygen present in lungs and supplies it to heart. Then takes CO2 back to the lungs which is produced in cells. So when these pollutants affect lungs, Not only the respiratory system of body gets damaged and but also causes many other organs deficiency.
Brain problems:
A rising case in these days related to babies is brain problems. During their early years, brain of baby develops faster than other parts. Baby starts recognising, memorising and moving his body parts. To perform all these actions, brain requires higher amount of oxygen for its functioning. And more the brain works, more amount of oxygen is required. During sleeping also while other body processes work in a relaxed manner, brain keeps working as usual.
The less amount of oxygen available in air causes complex problems related to brain. And exposure to highly polluted air for longer period may cause serious disease in babies like Encephalitis.
