  • How does air pollution affect the respiratory health of children?

    Children are at a higher risk of outcomes such as acute respiratory infections, asthma and decreased lung function due to air pollution exposure; the risk varies in different geographical regions, depending on the source of air pollution, duration of exposures and concentration.

  • How does air pollution affect respiratory health?

    Studies have linked particle pollution exposure to a variety of respiratory health effects, including: Respiratory symptoms including cough, phlegm, and wheeze. Acute, reversible decrement in pulmonary function. Inflammation of the airways and lung (this is acute and neutrophilic).

  • Can air pollution cause respiratory disease?

    Can air pollution cause lung conditions? Being exposed to air pollution over a long period of time can cause lung conditions, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  • The lungs and their alveoli aren't fully grown until children become adults. In addition, the body's defenses that help adults fight off infections are still developing in young bodies. Children have more respiratory infections than adults, which also seems to increase their susceptibility to air pollution.17 avr. 2023
