AIR POLLUTANTS

Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulates, biological materials, or other harmful materials into the Earth's atmosphere, possibly causing disease, death to humans, damage to other living organisms such as food crops, or the natural or built environment.

CARCINOGEN
causing cancer may increase the risk of cancer damage the genome

TOXIC
chronic (long term) effects causing disease on contact with or absorption by body tissues such as enzymes or cellular receptors.

DISEASES RELATED TO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms, and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleura and pleural cavity, and the nerves and muscles of breathing

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
(explain) Chronic bronchitis is a long-term swelling and irritation in the air passages in your lungs. The irritation may damage your lungs. This lung damage often gets worse over time, and it is usually permanent. Chronic bronchitis is part of a group of lung diseases called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (effect) Cigarette smoke, Exposure to lung irritants, Frequent lung infections, Family history

EMPHYSEMA
(explain) Emphysema is a respiratory disease. In this condition, millions of the lungs' tiny air sacs (alveoli) stretch out of shape or rupture. As these thin, fragile air sacs become damaged or destroyed, the lungs lose

their natural elasticity. They become unable to empty easily.

(cause) Both emphysema and chronic bronchitis are caused by damage to the lungs and bronchial tubes.

ASTHMA (causes) Cigarette smoke

Wood smoke Paint fumes Chemicals Strong odors Emotional stress (explain) Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung condition. Air passages narrow and become inflamed. This leads to breathing difficulties and wheezing.

CANCER
(explain) known medically as malignant neoplasia, is a broad group of diseases involving unregulated cell growth. In cancer, cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors, which may invade nearby parts of the body. The cancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream.There are over 200 different known cancers that affect humans.[1

(Causes) chemicals,diet,infection,radiation,physical agents,hormones,

LUNG CANCER
(explain) Lung cancer (also known as carcinoma of the lung) is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the lung by process of metastasis into nearby tissue or other parts of the body. Most cancers that start in the lung, CAUSES

Smoking Radon Gas Asbestos Air pollution Genetics

PNEUMONIA
(explain) Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli.[1][2] It is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria and less commonly other microorganisms, certain drugs and other conditions such as autoimmune diseases. (Causes)

Bacteria,viruses,fungi,parasites

STATISTICS

WAYS TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY

Air quality is defined as a measure of the condition of air relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species or to any human need or purpose.[2] SOURCE OF POLLUTIONS Combustion,Transportation,Industrical,Burning of fossil fuels,

WAY TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY

-recycle paper,conserve energy,plant trees,vehicle serviced regulary,switch off the engine when u park,use less electricity,

PRACTICE TO KEEP AIR CLEAN

Keep practice air as habits can improve our air quality from polluted.We should keep the air always clean. BAD HABITS THAT CAN DECREASE

-stop smoking ,share a ride,walk or ride bicycle,never use open fires,organic wate should be dumped,use unleaded gasoline.
