How Does Air Pollution Affect Respiratory Health?

Air pollution can affect the respiratory system by irritating the airways, triggering inflammation and reducing lung function. Exposure to fine particulate matter and harmful gases may worsen existing respiratory conditions and increase the risk of lung-related illnesses.

Protecting respiratory health starts with reducing exposure to air pollution and improving air quality.

What affects our mental health? 🧠🌿

Mental health is part of overall health and wellbeing. It can be influenced by our relationships, daily routines, living environments, life experiences and the conditions around us.

Looking at these factors helps us better understand mental wellbeing and the importance of prevention, health promotion and supportive communities.

Air quality monitoring stations and sensors play an important role in understanding the pollutants present in the air we breathe.

They help to:

• Measure key pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, O₃, SO₂ and CO

• Provide continuous, real-time air quality data

• Identify differences in pollution levels across locations

• Support early warnings when pollution levels increase

• Provide reliable information for research, public awareness and decision-making

Accurate monitoring provides reliable data to assess air quality and guide effective air quality management.

Why Do We Need to Measure Air Quality? 🌏

Air can appear clear while still containing pollutants that cannot be seen, including fine particles and harmful gases.

Air quality measurements turn these invisible pollutants into reliable data. This helps reveal pollution levels, identify changes and potential sources, and determine when action may be needed to reduce exposure.

Accurate air quality data is an important foundation for effective pollution management and public health protection.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced from the decay of uranium in soil and rock. Because it is invisible and odourless, its presence indoors may go unnoticed.

Radon can move through soil and enter buildings through cracks, foundations, floor openings, pipes and other pathways. Indoor levels can vary depending on:

🔹 Geology and soil type
🔹 Building design and construction
🔹 Ventilation and air exchange
🔹 Weather and seasonal conditions

Radon can accumulate in enclosed and poorly ventilated spaces, with inhalation of indoor air being the main exposure pathway.

From the air around us to deep inside the lungs.

Every breath can carry more than oxygen. Pollutants such as dust, smoke, and fine particles (PM2.5 and PM10) can enter through the nose or mouth and travel through the throat, windpipe, bronchi and bronchioles reaching the alveoli, the air sacs where oxygen enters the bloodstream.

How does breathing expose us to pollutants?

Every day, we breathe in more than just oxygen. Air pollutants, including fine particles and harmful gases, can enter the respiratory system and travel deep into the lungs.

Some fine particles may even pass through the lungs and enter the bloodstream, potentially affecting health beyond the respiratory system.

How can our environment influence the way our genes work? 🧬🌍

Air pollution, diet, to***co smoke, stress and chemical exposure can influence processes that regulate gene activity without changing the sequence.

Environmental health research helps identify how environmental exposures can affect , supporting stronger prevention and public health action.

Have you ever wondered how wind, temperature and weather conditions affect the air around us? 🌍

Air pollution does not always remain where it is released.

Wind, temperature and weather conditions all play a role in what happens to pollutants once they enter the atmosphere.

Wind can carry pollutants to other areas, temperature can affect how they react and accumulate, while rain can help remove some pollutants from the air.

Can air pollution affect people hundreds or even thousands of kilometres from its source? 🌍

Yes. Air pollutants can travel through the atmosphere with wind and weather conditions, crossing cities, regions and national borders. Some pollutants can also react in the atmosphere and form new pollutants, such as ozone and secondary particles.

This means air pollution is not always a local issue. What is emitted in one area can affect air quality and health elsewhere.
