If the size of fine pollution particles in the air is more than 2.5 micron, various diseases can occur. Currently, all metros including Chennai, especially Kanchipuram have 10 times more than 100 microns.
When you breathe in the fine particles in the air, they enter the lungs and stay there. When living in a continuously polluted environment, the pink color of the lungs turns black.
The nervous system and brain are affected by toxic gases like nitric acid and carbon monoxide. Air pollution causes visual impairment, memory impairment, reduced reading ability, frequent infectious diseases and cancer risk in children.

Four months ago, at the respiratory system seminar in Singapore, medical scientists from Taiwan conducted a study that the gene ‘7b’ in the genome of women in our country is at risk of becoming cancer when it is disrupted by polluted air.
As a result, lung cancer is common at the age of 25. Breathing in polluted air doesn’t just affect the lungs; The shocking information is that it goes deeper and causes changes in the genome. In our country, people under the age of 40 are more prone to lung cancer. In my experience, a 22-year-old pregnant woman and a 26-year-old college student were diagnosed with lung cancer. Protecting the lungs from smoke is easy.
