Air pollution can be bad for the brain — these are the cleanest and the smoggiest places in America

In Shanghai of China and India's New Delhi, everyone saw pictures of scary smoke. However, according to the American Lung Association 's 2018 national aviation report, in particular when I live in California, I found that the United States also has air pollution problems.

According to a report released on Wednesday, ozone pollution or smog (produced by industrial and electrical facilities, automobile exhaust, gasoline vapor and chemical solvents, according to the Environmental Protection Agency) is worse than 2017. We also found that nearly 128.9 million inhabitants live in 185 counties with an "F" rating of ozone.

Harold P. Wimmer, Chairman and CEO of the American Lung Association, said, "Ozone levels are at dangerous levels in many cities across the country due to the hot summer due to climate change."

Thanks to cleaner power plants and vehicles, the American Lung Association certainly made progress in particle contamination throughout the year (wild fires, wood burning equipment, unhealthy particles in the air like coal-fired power plants and diesel engines It is caused by

Nonetheless, the report also discovered that millions of people live in cities with high particulate pollutants. The most contaminated cities this year include Fairbanks, Alaska, and several cities of California, including Los Angeles and Bakersfield.

This is bad news because air pollution not only greatly affects the respiratory system, especially the lung, but also has an adverse effect on the brain. Studies announced by PLOS Medicine in 2015 showed that school children with traffic related air pollution had little improvement in cognitive development.

Another study, published by researchers at the University of Washington in November, shows that there is a correlation between air pollution and increased psychological stress, the more particulate matter in the atmosphere the more mental health It is clear that the influence of.

According to reports, these are the 10 most most metropolitan areas with the most serious air pollution.

Coal-fired power plants throughout the United States are causing millions of pounds of air pollution. In some places, contamination is so serious that it causes heart disease, fatal asthma attacks and cancer. SRPS Northern Arizona Coal Thermal Power Station is particularly guilty and is considered one of the country 's largest sources of air pollution. Many organizations, researchers, and companies are looking for alternative viable coal, but we are still far from solving the problem. Before that, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said that even though many states are inconsistent with the plan and took legal action to avoid it, a clean electricity to protect the air we suck I outlined the program. I do not yet know if the plan is supported under the cards.

At Charlotte, North Carolina, environmental problems are air pollution. Air pollution is a preface to contamination of solid particles and gas into the atmosphere of the earth. Such solid particles and gases include biological particles, materials, chemicals and other destructive materials. As the Charlotte metropolitan area is one of the major and growing metropolitan areas of the United States, air pollution is of greatest concern to residents of the capital city of Charlotte. As a result, pollution in this area has an impact on the environment, effectively having 45 million people and several animals. In addition, the Charlotte metropolitan area is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States (Hankins, 2013). Air pollution increases climate change, affects the happiness of the environment, human and animal life, and affects the quality of life.

According to a new report from the US Environmental Research Policy Center, people living in 72 different metropolitan areas of the United States experience air pollution for at least 100 days. People in these cities are at increased risk of premature death, asthma attacks and other adverse health effects. These statistics do not adequately reflect the seriousness of the problem. People living near local pollution "hot spots" are faced with higher levels of pollution and greater health risks. For example, people who live near crowded roads are more likely to develop lung cancer, which increases the risk of death from stroke, lung disease and heart disease.
