Pollution Harming Health污染危害健康

Updated: Nov 20, 2022

Have you ever wondered how air pollution affect our bodies? Well, let's think about it, the polluted air you inhale does infact, affect your overall health! Let's be even more specific and let's look at one of the most vulnerable groups in our society, school-aged children. Specifically when children are at school, some schools let students spend their recess time indoors when the air quality index (AQI) is too high. The problem with this is, that when the pollution levels are registered as 'high,' there are many people that still don't wear masks or protective gear to guard them from the harsh levels of air pollutants. Wheras it seems no one cares, I hope that ,such as this paper, more efforts to educate people on what harmful pollution is, will help change the behavior and impact that not knowing is causing to the health of so many due to a 'killer' that sometimes cannot be seen, that is air pollution. How do we inform people on the harmfulness of pollution? What is the best way to ensure they understand the harm that air pollutants have on their bodies when they don't wear masks when they are indeed surrounded by pollution? Let us know your ideas on this important matter in the comment section below.

你有没有想过空气污染如何影响我们的身体?那么,大家想一想,你吸入的污染空气,其实是会影响你的整体健康的!让我们更具体一点,看看我们社会中最脆弱的群体之一,学龄儿童。特别是当孩子们在学校时,一些学校允许学生在空气质量指数 (AQI) 过高的情况下在室内度过课间休息时间。问题是,当污染水平被记录为“高”时,仍有许多人不戴口罩或防护装备来保护他们免受恶劣水平的空气污染物的侵害。鉴于似乎没有人关心,我希望像这篇论文一样,更多地努力教育人们了解什么是有害污染,将有助于改变由于“杀手”而不知道对许多人的健康造成的行为和影响’有时看不见,那就是空气污染。我们如何告知人们污染的危害性?当他们确实被污染包围却不戴口罩时,确保他们了解空气污染物对身体的危害的最佳方法是什么?在下面的评论部分让我们知道您对这一重要问题的想法。

People don't seem to care about their body when they walk around pollution these days. I think we can inform others maybe set up pop-up signs on the streets that will pop-up when it is detected that the AQI is too high. What do you guys think?

Hi Brittney, just following up your comment question. I think this is a great idea, but this might be a bit expensive for some countries and areas. Maybe it can just be mentioned on the news or something.
