Effects of
air pollution on health
Effects of
air pollution on health are observed both following:
- an
exposure of a few hours to a few days (acute, so-called short-term exposure) to
this pollution: eye or respiratory irritation, asthma attacks, exacerbation of
cardiovascular and respiratory disorders that may lead to hospitalization, and
the most serious cases at death;
- a
multi-year exposure (chronic, so-called long-term exposure) to air pollution;
the health effects can in this case be defined as the contribution of this
exposure to the development or aggravation of chronic diseases such as:
cancers, cardiovascular and respiratory pathologies (asthma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure) , neurological disorders, etc.
In France,
chronic exposure to air pollution leads to the most significant impacts on
health and the share of health effects attributable to pollution peaks remains
very low (source: ANSP). The preponderant health impact of air pollution is due
to year-round exposure to average levels of pollution and not to peaks.
Air
pollution and its effects on health
Smoking or
exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, wood heating emissions, emissions from
burning green waste in the open air (although this practice is prohibited),
barbecue emissions, pollen, solvents used in indoor spaces ... are factors that
can aggravate the effects of air pollution. Also, in case of air pollution
episode, it is better to reduce or avoid exposure to these other factors.
