Is haze harmful to human body?

Today's society is developing very fast, but some bad things are also happening, such as serious pollution. Haze is a relatively serious form of pollution. The cause of haze is directly related to the illegal emissions from many heavy industrial polluting enterprises. If we cannot control this situation, our bodies will be greatly affected. So is haze harmful to the human body? Let’s talk about it below.

The composition of haze is very complex, with hundreds of particles of varying sizes. These particles enter the respiratory tract through human breathing and can cause respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma.

Cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In foggy weather, the low oxygen content in the air will accelerate the heartbeat and cause chest tightness and shortness of breath. It is especially harmful to the elderly.

Causes various bacterial diseases. Because of the smog weather, the sunlight cannot reach the earth, or the sunlight is weak. This will cause bacteria, viruses and microorganisms on the ground surface to multiply rapidly, causing allergies and other diseases.

Increased risk of cancer. As we all know, smokers are 60% more likely to develop lung cancer than ordinary people, and haze contains more harmful particles, so haze is more carcinogenic than smoking.

It makes people feel depressed and irritable. People's mood is easily affected by the weather. When the weather is foggy and dark, and the air is polluted, people's mood will become depressed and irritable. Lack of energy in doing things.

Traffic accidents are prone to occur. Haze weather will reduce visibility, and in severe cases you can only see a few meters away. It poses a great safety hazard to pedestrians and vehicles on the road and is very dangerous.

It can also cause respiratory obstruction or inflammation: Humans are like precision instruments, and every structure is the result of adapting to the environment. Our respiratory system naturally has the ability to block pollutants. Larger pollutants are blocked when passing through the nasal cavity and throat. Even dirt that can enter the trachea and bronchi can be transported out of the respiratory tract with the movement of cilia in the trachea. However, the human body is full of loopholes, and the respiratory system's barrier is powerless against tiny particles.

Haze is actually very harmful to the human body. If we live in a haze environment for a long time, our bodies will show many symptoms of disease, the first of which is the increase in lung diseases. If you live in an environment with haze, you should pay attention to keeping the air fresh. You can use items such as air purifiers to keep the air fresh.
