Over the past ten years, the amount of harmful small particle air pollution caused by lighting fires in our homes has more than doubled. Air pollution impacts everyone’s health from our first breath to our last. But the good news is that just a small reduction in the amount of harmful small particle air pollution we create could prevent tens of thousands of cases of coronary heart disease and asthma by 2035.

25 September is World Lung Day. On #WorldLungDay, let’s raise awareness about the dangers of air pollution.  Did you know? Air pollution kills 7 million people every year. Clean air is essential for healthy lungs, yet millions suffer from lung disease due to poor air quality.

Air pollution has been linked to a variety of health problems for Americans, but recent studies show the air we breathe today is cleaner than it was decades ago. However, this clean air has a surprising downside - it has become a breeding ground for #Legionnaires' disease. Researchers from the State University of New York at Albany found that the recent rise in cases of this respiratory illness appears to have a connection to the drop in sulfur dioxide (SO2) air pollution worldwide. In 2000, there were only 1,100 cases of Legionnaires' disease in the US. By 2018, that figure rose to nearly 10,000 cases. #watermanagement #legionella #asknick

Air pollution doesn’t discriminate It affects everyone, from the young to the old, the rich to the poor. It’s an equal-opportunity hazard that can strike anywhere. From vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions to road dust, pollen, and household chemicals, the sources of air pollution are diverse and pervasive. Toxic substances can enter our bodies through the respiratory tract, leading to a range of health conditions, including heart and lung problems, cancer, and respiratory infections. #cleanair #airqualitymatters #breatheeasy #healthyliving #ostenlab #sustainableliving #airpollutionawareness #environmentalhealth #BreatheClean #AirQualityControl #ProtectOurAir #cleanenvironment #breathoflife #greenliving #takeactionnow #wellnesswednesday #sustainabilitygoals #airqualityawareness #breathewell #globalhealth #cleanliving #consciousconsumption #airpollutionsolutions #togetherforchange #environmentalstewardship #healthforall #cleanairinitiative

📚 Air pollution isn't just an outdoor threat; indoor environments like schools harbor detrimental contaminants, including infectious airborne pathogens like COVID-19, VOCs, mold, and residual chemicals from cleaning agents—all of which can affect health and compromise #indoorairquality. 😮💨 Polluted indoor air contributes to respiratory conditions like pneumonia and asthma in young children, who spend substantial time in school environments. Ensuring #cleanschoolair is essential not only for health but also for enhancing academic performance and reducing absenteeism. https://lnkd.in/eYVZ7gNj #BetterAirBetterLearning #InvestInOurSchools #InvestInOurChildren #indoorairquality #cleanairmatters #HVACupgrade #schoolairquality #bipolarionization

What is the Air Quality around you today and do you know 99% of people worldwide breathe polluted air; air pollution alone was responsible for 8.1 million deaths in 2021, with over 90% associated with noncommunicable diseases. Countries in South Asia and Africa face the highest burden of disease. Populations from low-and middle-income countries are exposed to 1.3-4 times higher
