The Dangers of PM2.5: A Threat Allergy Sufferers Must Beware. Homes with Children and the Elderly Should Find Protection Urgently
The dangers of PM2.5. As many of you are well aware, PM 2.5 dust is a particle smaller than 2.5 micrometres. Compared with the diameter of one of our hairs, which is 50–70 micrometres, this tiny dust is some 20–30 times smaller than a strand of hair. So it can penetrate our bodies through every route and is also difficult to guard against.
Generally, our respiratory tract has waving hairs (respiratory cilia) and secretes mucus and phlegm to trap foreign matter, including dust, and keep it from entering the airway. But PM2.5 dust, smaller than 2.5 micrometres, can slip through all the way to the small bronchioles (bronchiole), and if smaller than 1 micrometre, it can penetrate into the bloodstream. So if air conditions have PM 2.5 readings exceeding the standard, the first group to be heavily affected and at high risk are young children, the elderly, those with chronic respiratory disease, allergies and heart disease, because their bodies' defence processes are weaker than those of healthy people.
As for people in normal good health, studies by various institutions around the world have found that prolonged exposure to air with PM2.5 exceeding the standard is associated with an increased likelihood of death from lung and heart disease (cardiopulmonary mortality), as well as an increased risk of lung cancer. As you can see, whether or not we have a disease, having PM2.5 around us is harmful to our health in every case. So we should hurry to find ways to protect our health from dust before it becomes a problem we have to fix after the fact — which is certainly no easy matter.
And for those who already have allergies, they are of course one of the risk groups most affected by PM2.5, or airborne dust, because they are a sensitive group highly reactive to various triggers around them. Even ordinary dust can cause allergic symptoms that disrupt their lives, and all the more so if it is dust so tiny it can penetrate every part of the body, like PM2.5. Just imagine how much suffering that would cause.
So today, Sanyawit brings everyone ways to protect your own health from PM2.5.
But before studying the methods of protection, let us first see just how much PM2.5 dust affects our health, and how it endangers the health of allergy sufferers. Scroll down and read along together.
PM2.5 and the Health Dangers to Beware Of
As mentioned above, PM2.5 greatly affects our health, especially over the long term, becoming a source of various chronic diseases. In the short term, however, the effects and symptoms of a PM2.5 dust allergy do not differ much from those of an ordinary dust allergy. Some people may develop a PM2.5 dust allergy that leads to various diseases harmful to the body, while in others a PM2.5 dust allergy may take the form of effects on the skin — rashes, itching — severely affecting daily life and appearance.
A PM2.5 dust allergy takes many forms, but the main symptoms are usually as follows:
Health effects
The problem of PM2.5 allergy that affects health can be classified mainly as follows:
1) Respiratory-tract disease: Because PM2.5 is extremely small dust, its particles can penetrate the respiratory tract easily and quickly, causing various diseases related to the respiratory system, such as allergies and asthma. This can both cause flare-ups in those who already have it and give rise to the disease as well.
2) Effects on the heart: PM2.5 may form sediment within the blood vessels, leading to a sudden heart attack. It is also one of the factors that cause various types of heart disease, such as arrhythmia and fluctuating heart rate.
3) Effects on the brain: PM2.5 may cause high blood pressure and increased blood viscosity, which raises the risk of a blood clot in the brain. It also impairs blood circulation, becoming a source of various serious diseases that follow.
Effects on the skin
PM2.5 allergic reactions that occur on the skin differ from person to person, but most often the symptoms are as follows:
- The skin develops bumps, raised red patches scattered about from the PM2.5 dust allergy.
- An eczema rash from the PM2.5 dust allergy.
- It causes premature skin ageing, dark spots, and a rough, unattractive look.
And for those with allergies, a PM2.5 dust allergy may trigger the allergic condition and cause more severe reactions than in ordinary people. A PM2.5 dust allergy affects the various systems within the body as follows:
1) Respiratory system: It affects mucositis and rhinitis, which, if left for a long time, may turn into bronchial disease or asthma in cases of chronic PM2.5 allergy.
2) Skin system: Itchy rashes over the body, hives that make the skin allergy-prone, and skin that develops premature wrinkles.
Beyond the above, a PM2.5 allergy for those with allergies also affects other systems in the body, such as the circulatory system, and is also dangerous for pregnant women, so great care should be taken.
Do not let it be too late before finding a fix, because solving a problem at the symptom rather than the source — or starting to do something only once your health has declined to the point of escalating — is always harder than preventing it early. For anyone who has read this far and feels worried about their health, and wants to find a way to protect themselves from PM2.5 dust that genuinely works, do not worry about dust any longer.
