Terrible harms of air pollution

Terrible harms of air pollution keep coming up day by day and now it is known that polluted air inside and around the house can affect the development of children in particular. Negative effects on brain development can be reduced by clearing this atmosphere.

Scientists from Simon Fraser University, in collaboration with Mongolian scientists, have conducted several experiments to install air filters in women's homes during pregnancy and to assess its effects on mother and child. This is also the first experience of the negative effects of air pollution on newborns.
 

The test, which began in 2014, recruited a total of 540 pregnant women from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. According to the World Health Organization, Ulan Bator is one of the most polluted places in the world.

 All of the women in the study were smoking-free and less than 18 weeks pregnant, and their homes were never fitted with air filters. They were added to the randomly filtered and unfiltered group. One group of women was given one or two standard filters and encouraged to use them until the baby was born, and the filters were removed after birth.

All newborns were then subjected to an IQ test for four years. This is called a full scale IQ (FSIQ). It was found that children who grew up in a filter had a 2.8 point higher FSIQ than those who went through a pregnancy without a filter.Combined with 

other past research, these findings further highlight the mental benefits of clean air and the environment. This clearly means that there are clear benefits to reducing air pollution and polluted air and that it can benefit generations.

Another important point is that in the environment of the filter, the children growing up in the womb also had a tendency to understand words which is called Verbal Comprehension Index Score.

90% of the world's population, including Pakistan's densely populated cities, is forced to breathe in unsafe and polluted air. On the one hand it is causing diseases of the heart, lungs and other organs and on the other hand it is also affecting the brain development.
