For those who grow up in a place such as Montana, you might not comprehend all of the commotion about air pollution. Yet when you live downtown and you can practically touch the air, never mind see it, and to breathe deeply can be a challenge, things are a little different. The majority of the world is packed with air pollution, and even locations that don't seem to have any, are getting it from the rest of the world.
Are you able to identify all the things in the air that are damaging to people? Second-hand tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrates... and then there's particulate matter. This is a catch-all phrase for something which has many origins, like road dust, the generation of power, emissions from vehicles in addition to many industrial emissions. Plus anything else that fouls the air, actually, such as volcanoes, pollen's, forest fires, mold and much more. These particles come in various sizes, composition and origin, and one of the most significant components is automobile emissions. Roadways crowded with vehicles are the reasons behind the deteriorating world-wide air pollution situation, and of course the biggest cities are the worst culprits.
You are unable to smell it, you cannot see it, but if the air is polluted you'll find it present in large quantities - carbon monoxide. It's traceable back to the combustion process in vehicles that are powered by gasoline, and also the smoking of cigarette's. In the most severe case you could possibly die, but because it lowers the level of oxygen it always damages the body. Respiratory illnesses are being caused by carbon monoxide, even being absorbed by the body in small amounts over a long period of time. Much of the world's health problems are caused by ingesting carbon monoxide. There are wide ranging reports demonstrating how negative the effects are with air pollutants, especially from cars, but also factories.
It's been shown that the presence of the different pollutants changes between cities. A study over 5 years with 5,000 adult participants determined that exposure to air pollutants a result of traffic resulted in a higher mortality rate. Those who live near to a busy road usually tend to die from a cardiovascular disease, such as a heart attack. The level of air pollution from the most polluted cities in the States will cause the life expectancy of people living there to be shortened by between two and three years. The conclusion of analysts is that people who have been exposed to elevated levels of particle pollution, even over short terms, are more prone to die from cardiovascular events.
In locations where the particle pollution is in increased concentrations, there are more admissions to hospitals for various cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. You are likely to live a few years less if you have been living in an area with an elevated level of particle pollution. We must deduce that if matters continue being unchanged, the future for American people looks bleak . If the future is to be prevented from being worse than now, improved ways of regulating pollution from vehicles must be found.
