Breathing is vital for human existence, but currently, the quality of air is declining. For example, a person inhales about 40m particles during a walk along a busy city street. Currently, air pollution is the leading environmental cause of death, responsible for one in every nine fatalities.
Air pollution causes the deaths of 7 million individuals annually, surpassing the combined fatalities from HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. It causes colossal economic problems. Poor air quality is common in developing countries, although it is somewhat improved in some developed nations.
Air pollutants have been around for centuries, yet most people are not well-informed about the damage that air pollution causes. Numerous deaths are the evidence of toxic air damage. Air treatment measures offer immediate advantages and help fight climate change.
Air pollution affects almost every person in the world, and about 90% of the population lives in places where the level of air pollutants is higher than the WHO guidelines. For example, the most polluted places are located in south and east Asia, about half of the top 50 most polluted cities in the world are in India, while China has eight and Iran has three.
Moreover, rich nations also suffer from bad air quality, but the trends are positive even though there are different types of air pollution. The most dangerous type is tiny particles because they affect not only the lungs but also the bloodstream. Such tiny air pollutants can enter vital organs, specifically the brain.
The particles can consist of black carbon, nitrates, sulfates, ammonia, or mineral dust, and they appear as the result of burning fossil fuels or wood. Today some improvements in coal-fired power stations and cars have been made for air treatment and the improving air quality.
It should be mentioned that there are several natural sources of air pollution, for example, dust storms and smoke from forest fires, however, the air pollutants caused by human activities still prevail. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution provokes 4.2 million early deaths.
Nowadays, the harm from air pollutants affects not only every part of the human body but also the mind. Studies indicate a connection between clean air quality and diseases of the lungs, heart attacks, strokes, as well as kidney and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Fortunately, it is possible to change the situation using air treatment devices, for example, a wet air scrubbing system. Wet scrubbers are the most effective solution for combating air pollution.
