World Lung Day 2024
Increasing pollution is becoming the enemy of the lungs. Lungs are being affected by bad lifestyle and excessive smoking. Most of the lung diseases occur due to these reasons. However, people working in closed houses and offices are also facing lung related problems. Yes, people who have ventilation problems in their homes are at a higher risk of lung diseases. Doctors say that like outdoor pollution, the air inside the houses is also proving to be dangerous for the lungs. This is increasing the risk of asthma-bronchitis and even cancer. If there is no proper ventilation in your office or house, then it is not good for your health.
Poor ventilation is the cause of these diseases
Some people do not have proper ventilation in their homes. Apart from this, most offices are built in such a way that not even a gust of air can come from anywhere. They are packed with full AC and glass walls. In these places, you sit in AC air and work for hours. Or say, you spend the whole day here. Working in these places not only increases the risk of respiratory infections but can also cause a lot of damage to the lungs in the long run.
These problems can occur due to living in closed houses
According to doctors, places with poor ventilation can produce 100 times more microscopic particles in the air. Due to which you can become a victim of indoor air pollution. Working in such places for a long time increases the risk of lung infection and pneumonia. Working in such closed places can cause headaches, burning sensation in the eyes and dizziness. If asthma patients live in houses without ventilation, the situation can become more serious.
It can be harmful for the health of children
Although it has a negative effect on people living in places with low ventilation, people who already have lung diseases may have to face more problems. Children are also facing risks due to staying in closed schools.
Indoor pollution is one of the causes of lung cancer
A WHO report said that about 11% of lung cancer deaths among young people are caused by carcinogens produced by indoor air pollution. To avoid indoor pollution, make good ventilation arrangements in the home and office. Open the windows and doors for some time during the day so that fresh air can come inside the house. Spend some time outside in the open air, where pollution is less.
