Air Pollution and It’s Effect on People

Hello everyone! I read an article recently published by the Guardian titled “Billions of air pollution particles found in hearts of city dwellers”. In the article, the publisher talks about how air pollution through vehicle emissions produce nano particles that are very harmful to people who live in cities. Additionally, the article refers to a research study that was conducted found that the nano particles that are released cause damage to the hearts and brains of the people living in these heavily concentrated cities. Not only that, but the article explains that kids are also shown to be affected drastically, the youngest affected being three, bringing concern because these particles are damaging the cells of young kids resulting in damages to the heart and brains causing issues in growth. Furthermore, from this article, one can realize that living in overpopulated areas such as big cities causes people to be more exposed to intoxicants. The result of overpopulation is causing the air to become heavily polluted and one solution that is being suggested is to drive less, but the idea of overpopulation is not something that is being brought to the forefront as it should. Thus, the results of overpopulation is being evident through the struggles of these cities.
