A recent study has shed light on the alarming effects of low concentrations of air pollution on human health. According to the research, even minimal levels of air pollution can still have significant impacts on our well-being.
As part of its report, the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) emphasizes that it is not just high levels of air pollution that are a concern but rather any exposure to poor air quality at all concentrations. The study highlights the growing evidence linking air pollution to various health issues and urges policymakers to treat this issue as a serious public health threat.
The findings also underscore the need for governments to address emissions from multiple sources, including domestic heating, gas cooking, household products, and even wood burning, agriculture, transportation, and indoor pollutants. Moreover, the study emphasizes the importance of implementing targeted support for the most vulnerable and affected communities, as well as launching a nationwide public health campaign focused on air pollution.
Professor Sir Stephen Holgate from the University of Southampton has contributed to this report. He highlights that over 700 diseases have been linked to air pollution. Additionally, he shares insights on how these smaller particles can penetrate deep into our lungs and even enter the bloodstream.
