Poor air quality in urban areas, leading to respiratory problems and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases

Poor air quality in urban areas is a growing concern, leading to a rise in respiratory problems and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Pollutants like fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from traffic, industrial emissions, and construction activities contribute to this decline in air quality. Chronic exposure to these pollutants can cause asthma, bronchitis, and exacerbate existing heart conditions. It’s crucial to advocate for cleaner air policies and take personal steps to reduce exposure, such as using air purifiers and limiting outdoor activities on high-pollution days. Stay informed and proactive about your health in urban environments!
