Air pollution is one of the major threats to our health in the modern world. More than a million people die in America alone annually, due to the various ill effects of air pollution. The situation is not better in other countries either. According to reports sent by Canadian Medical Association, more than 21000 Canadian individuals are suspected to die due to a variety of health problems primarily caused by air pollution. The children and the people who are over 65 years of age are the ones that are most affected. Over the last few years, the count of population collapsing due to premature deaths has risen to up to 80%. Based on the current figures, it is estimated that the figures are likely to grow in the coming years. Deaths and untimely demises will also affect the children as well. This is primarily due to the fact that the immunity strengths of these two groups are significantly lesser than average adults. Most of the air pollution is caused by traffic emissions. The suspended solid particles and nitrogen oxides that are emanated from combustion engines as well as other mechanical parts fill up the air once released. These particles stay close to the ground, at the level where they enter human bodies easily and affect people in a number of ways. It has been seen that people living close to areas having higher traffic pollution are more susceptible to develop respiratory problems, infractions as well as have reduced life expectancy. Children who live near these areas are more prone to suffer from bronchitis and other related symptoms. The lungs of these children may also show a reduced rate of growth compared to the children who are living in areas having less pollution. Women who are residing in higher traffic areas are susceptible to have children that weigh less than what is expected. In fact, the unborn fetus and a young child are more vulnerable to different kinds of environmental toxins than adults, due to differences in exposure levels and physiological immaturity. In order to make sure that a person is living in an area of less pollution; numerous app manufacturers have developed apps that provide users with live air pollution information. That way people can know easily and quickly the quality of air they are breathing and whether they need to be alert and move to a place of low risk of exposure. These apps come with convenient user interfaces that allow for easy navigation and flexible operation. Get air particule fine and other pollution level such as air toxicity, PM2.5, PM10, air quality index on your mobile through the WORLD AQI apps.
