The threat of increasing pollution at the global level is very harmful to all. This risk is increasing with time. Therefore, not only has the risk of many serious diseases increased, but the life expectancy of humans has also decreased as compared to earlier. Air and water pollution are considered by health experts as very challenging for human health. Both these conditions are causing a variety of serious-life-threatening health problems such as cancer.

 

World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5 to prevent the increasing pollution in the environment and make people aware of the increasing health problems due to it.

Health experts say, personally, all people should also pay attention to the measures to prevent pollution, which are seen to cause many serious problems in the future. Let us know how air-water pollution can be harmful to our health.

 

Air pollution is increasing the risk of lung cancer

 

Air pollution refers to the mixture of small dust-like particles and harmful substances-chemicals in the air. It can be man-made, such as smoke from vehicles or factories, and smoke from burning fuels, such as wood or coal. Usually, the smallest particles are called 'particulate matter' in scientific language.

 

Researchers found that long-term exposure to air pollution increases the risk of lung cancer by several folds. Air pollution alone causes about 1 in 10 cases of lung cancer.

 

harmful to mental health

 

Air pollution has been linked in several studies to serious mental and physical health problems. Research suggests that people who live in highly polluted areas may be at higher risk of developing stress, depression, and neurodegenerative disorders. Studies looking at the effects of air pollution on cognitive health suggest that people exposed to elevated pollution levels may also be at a higher risk of cognitive decline.

 

increasing risk of water pollution

 

Like air pollution, water pollution is also a major risk factor due to which serious diseases are increasing globally. Water pollution has been found to cause everything from diarrhea and stomach problems to skin diseases, malnutrition, and even many types of cancer.

 

worry about the future

 

According to the United Nations, about three million children under the age of five die each year from diseases linked to hygiene problems or unsafe drinking water. The way pollutants are increasing in drinking water, it is even more dangerous for the future.

 

If both water and air pollution is not controlled in time, then due to this, the risk of many serious diseases can become very common in the future.
