Air pollution

A worldwide platform for air quality and health is a WHO initiative initiative to cooperate with nearly 50 other international / regional institutions and research institutions.

Researchers at BHF have studied how air pollution affects our heart and the health of the circulatory system, and addressing the British atmospheric problems is a top priority for BHF. It is now known that particulate air pollution is associated with an increase in heart disease and cardiovascular disease and an increase in mortality. Without your support for our life-saving research, we can not achieve all of this progress, and with your generous support, BHF now funds over 1,100 research projects in the UK I am out. You can subscribe to our monthly newsletter to learn more about our research here, or to learn about the progress of research with the latest BHF funds.

There are mainly two types of air pollution. Ambient air pollution (outdoor pollution) and household (or indoor) air pollution refers to contamination by household burning (by combustion of fuel such as coal, wood, kerosene) using naked fire. When the basic stove air moves from inside to outside of the building, and vice versa, indoor and outdoor air pollution may encourage each other. Main contaminants: (1) solids and droplets from particulate matter, primarily fuel burning and road traffic; (2) nitrogen dioxide in road traffic or indoor gas stove; (3) combustion of fossil fuels Ground ozone generated by reaction of generated sulfur dioxide sunlight with automobile exhaust gas. Participants who affect people's most pollutants are particulate matter (often abbreviated as PM and used as a measure of air pollution)

When harmful substances such as particles and biomolecules are taken into the atmosphere of the earth, air pollution is caused These harmful substances are called air pollutants. These contaminants may take the form of solid waste, droplets, or gas. Substances mixed in the atmosphere may have devastating effects on living things and the environment. This directly complements the cause of air pollution. There is no doubt that garbage incineration exacerbates the current air pollution situation. According to estimates by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), more than 40% of the world's waste is burned with such a fire, and release of gas and particulate matter has a serious effect on human health and climate change There is a possibility.
