Introduction:
Fumes pollution is not a new problem in the Grouping world. Since then, changes in the way we live have also changed the fumes pollution that we breathe. Coal-burning has fallen dramatically, but today increased road transport and the failure to control some exhausts from diesel vehicles have led to us being exposed to new fumes pollutants. Today’s children walk and cycle much less, and they inhale nitrogen dioxide and the tiny particulates from diesel-fuelled vehicles. Around the world, there are many examples where reducing fumes pollution has improved public health. It now seems likely that childhood exposure to fumes pollution has a lasting influence on health, so the gains from tackling fumes pollution today will be felt throughout the decades to come.
Fumes Pollution In our changing world:
In our world Fumes pollution is a mixture of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, and gases in the air. 6.5 million people across the world die prematurely every year from indoor and outdoor fumes pollution. Car emissions, chemicals from factories, dust, pollen, and mold spores may be suspended as particles. Ozone gas is a major part of fumes pollution in cities. Some fumes pollutants are poisonous. Inhaling them can increase the chance you'll have health problems. People with heart or lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from fumes pollution
Fumes Pollution
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic fume pollutant produced largely from vehicle emissions. Breathing CO at high concentrations leads to reduced oxygen transport by hemoglobin, which has health effects that include impaired reaction timing, headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, weakness, clouding of consciousness, coma, and, at high enough concentrations and long enough exposure, death.
