The 48-year-old Danish single mother still wants to stop smoking but no longer thinks of herself as a COPD patient, while the severe coughing spells and derived muscle pain have gradually disappeared in the course of six months. The turning point was a visit to the ...
Its developing factors include smoking, air pollution, and genetic predisposition. The complex pathophysiology led to the need for a significant research model, thereby ushering in various COPD disease models. ...

As countries worldwide start relaxing rules and lifting coronavirus restrictions, including wearing face masks in public, people with a weakened immune system may still need to protect themselves against airborne viruses and benefit from cleaner, purified air. ...
There are still obvious solvent waste gas treatment problems in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Some enterprises with serious air pollution from pharmaceutical and chemical waste gas have been closed down after the treatment is ineffective to improve the air environment around pharmaceutical and chemical production enterprises. The ...
Data from the SPIROMICS longitudinal study found that this population was at statistically significant risk for COPD exacerbations in a way that wasn’t explained by environmental or occupational exposures related to agriculture, a common occupational field in rural settings.4 Further studies have not only confirmed that exacerbation risk, but also found significantly greater prevalence.5 ...
Some substances can easily interact with the oxygen in the air when exposed to the air, causing chemical changes in the substance. This is the process of oxidation. Sun exposure, air pollution, radiation, etc. will cause the human skin to produce a large amount of superoxide free radicals, and its strong oxidizing ability will ...
Lancet publised and article1) on May 1. 2021 “10 scientific reasons in support of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2”. We introduce the article piece by piece with a solution how to successfully remove and destroy viruses from indoor ...
The European Environment Agency (EEA) have reported that the restrictions imposed to fight Covid-19 have provided some short-term positive impacts on Europe’s environment, including temporary improvements in air quality, lower greenhouse gas emissions and lower levels of noise pollution. ...
As a result, we observed both the positive and negative impacts on the ambient air quality. The wildfire occurrences severely deteriorated the air quality. In contrast, country-wide complete and partial lockdowns accounted for cleaner air in some regions. The lockdown provided a clean window to air and atmosphere for ...
Increased risk of different cancer types in workers employed in petroleum industries and residents living in oil producing communities by Felix Onyije, Bayan Hosseini, Kayo Togawa, Joachim Schüz, and Ann Olsson Considerable health conditions are caused by environmental pollutants, including emissions from petroleum extraction and refining. They are major sources of ...
Population groups already struggling with poverty, marginalization, air and water pollution are disproportionately vulnerable to COVID-19. ...
Air pollution is often based on the values of particulate matter of size less than 2.5 micrometers(PM 2.5) and particulate matter of size less than 10 micrometers (PM10).PM 2.5 reduces visibility and cause the air to appear hazy when the levels are elevated. It is the most harmful pollutant to human health which can lead to ...
When we think about air pollution, we think about black smoke coming out of stacks in a grey, industrial area in a developing country. And that is also the case. But not only. Air pollution comes in different forms and not always visible to the human eye. ...

A study connects days with high levels of pollution with myocardial infarctionMore several myocardial infarction happens when pollution levels are higher. ...
Study authors say they don’t yet know what causes the increase, but a variety of factors including things like air pollution, increased truck traffic, and increased stress levels from the noise could play a role. They suggest seeking immediate treatment symptoms of an asthma attack occur and avoiding odors and the outdoors when air ...
Indoor air has been shown to be 5 times worse than outdoor air, so take special care to improve IAQ. ...
Thus it’s able to count and distinguish between even the smallest dispersed pollen. Besides, it informs on air pollution by determining aerosols. The Rapid-E system can be operated remotely and doesn’t require a data logger as it transfers the data directly to the included online dash board PlairGrid. ...
