What are the causes and hazards of smog?

There are several reasons for the smog weather.

1. The main factor when the atmospheric pressure is low and the air does not flow. Because the air does not flow, the tiny particles in the air gather together and float in the air.

2. The ground is dusty and the air humidity is low. People and vehicles on the ground stir up dust.

3. Automobile exhaust is the main pollutant emission. In recent years, there are more and more cars in cities, and automobile exhaust is a factor of smog.

4. Secondary pollution produced by factories.

5. CO2 and other pollutants emitted by heating in winter.

Because smog will do harm to people's health:

1. Effects on respiratory system. The composition of smog is very complex, including hundreds of atmospheric chemical particles. Among them, aerosol particles smaller than 10 micron are harmful to health, such as mineral particles, sea salt, sulfate, nitrate, organic aerosol particles, fuel, automobile exhaust, etc., which can directly enter and adhere to human respiratory tract and alveoli. In particular, submicron particles will be deposited in the upper and lower respiratory tract and alveoli respectively, causing acute rhinitis and acute bronchitis. For patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, obstructive emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, smog weather will make the condition acute or acute. Staying in this environment for a long time will also induce lung cancer.

2. Influence on cardiovascular system. There are many pollutants in the air in foggy days, and the air pressure is low, which is easy to induce acute attacks of cardiovascular diseases. For example, when the fog is heavy, the water vapor content is high. If people exercise outdoors, the sweat of human body is not easy to be discharged, which causes people to feel chest tightness and blood pressure to rise.

3. Hazy weather will also lead to the weakening of ultraviolet rays in the surface layer, which can enhance the activity of infectious bacteria in the air and increase infectious diseases.

4. In foggy days, due to the decrease of sunshine, children's ultraviolet radiation is insufficient, vitamin D production in the body is insufficient, and the absorption of calcium is greatly reduced, which will seriously cause rickets in infants and children, and slow down the growth and development of children.

5. Affect mental health. The gloomy and foggy weather is prone to mental laziness, depression and pessimism due to the weak light and low air pressure, and even it is easy to get out of control at the slightest sign of trouble.

Therefore, go out as little as possible in foggy days. If you go out, you should be well protected. On this day, Puweixin, a cat imported from America, will help you reduce smog inhalation. I wish you the best of health!
