What Are the Health Implications of Poor Air Quality?
Exposure to poor air quality can lead to a range of adverse health effects. Short-term exposure can cause irritation of the eyes and throat, headaches, and exacerbation of asthma. Long-term exposure is associated with chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and those with preexisting health conditions, are at higher risk.
