Uchafuzi wa hewa umehusishwa na hali za kiafya za muda mrefu, pamoja na hatari ya ugonjwa wa moyo na mishipa, pumu, saratani ya mapafu na kifo. Kupumua kwa hewa chafu kutoka kwa trafiki ya barabara kuu kunaweza kuongeza shinikizo la damu la abiria kwa hadi saa 24, utafiti mpya umefichua.<\/p>\n

Timu kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Washington, ambayo ilitathmini hatari za kiafya za abiria wanaosafiri kwenye barabara kuu zenye shughuli nyingi, iligundua kuwa uchafuzi wa mazingira kutokana na msongamano mkubwa wa magari ulisababisha ongezeko la shinikizo la damu sawa na athari za lishe yenye sodiamu nyingi.

"Mwili una seti changamano ya mifumo ya kujaribu kuweka shinikizo la damu kwenye ubongo wako sawa wakati wote.

Watafiti walifuatilia shinikizo la damu la washiriki wenye afya nzuri kati ya miaka 22 na 45 wakati waliendesha gari kwa saa ya haraka ya trafiki ya Seattle. Wakati wa anatoa mbili, hewa isiyochujwa ya barabara iliruhusiwa kuingia kwenye gari, wakati wa tatu, vichungi vya HEPA (hewa yenye ufanisi wa juu) vilizuia 86% ya uchafuzi wa chembe.

"Kupumua hewa isiyochujwa kulisababisha ongezeko la shinikizo la damu la zaidi ya 4.50 mm Hg (milimita za zebaki) ikilinganishwa na anatoa zenye hewa iliyochujwa. Ongezeko hilo lilitokea kwa kasi, na kushika kasi kama saa moja kwenye gari na kushikilia kwa angalau masaa 24, "watafiti waliandika.<\/p>\n

Utafiti haukuchunguza tofauti ya shinikizo la damu zaidi ya alama ya saa 24.<\/p>\n

"Tunajua kwamba ongezeko la kawaida la shinikizo la damu kama hili, kwa kiwango cha watu, linahusishwa na ongezeko kubwa la magonjwa ya moyo na mishipa.

Ijapokuwa kiwango cha jumla cha uchafuzi uliopimwa kwa ukolezi wa chembe laini (PM 2.5) kilikuwa cha chini kiasi katika utafiti, hewa ambayo haijachujwa ilikuwa na viwango vya juu vya chembe za ultrafine. Chembe zenye ubora wa juu zaidi ni vichafuzi visivyodhibitiwa vyenye ukubwa wa chini ya nanomita 100 katika kipenyo ambacho kimekuwa chanzo cha wasiwasi mkubwa miongoni mwa wataalam wa afya ya umma.<\/p>\n

Masomo juu ya mada hii mara nyingi huwa na wakati mgumu wa kutenganisha athari za uchafuzi wa mazingira kutoka kwa mfiduo mwingine wa barabara kama vile mkazo na kelele, lakini kwa mtazamo wetu, tofauti pekee kati ya siku za kuendesha gari ilikuwa mkusanyiko wa uchafuzi wa hewa, "alisema Michael Young, mwandishi mkuu wa utafiti huo. .

Breathing in polluted air from highway traffic could raise the blood pressure of passengers for up to 24 hours, a new study has revealed.The team from the University of Washington, who evaluated the health risks of passengers traveling on busy highways, found that pollution from heavy traffic resulted in an increase in blood pressure equivalent to the effect of a high-sodium diet. The study was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine."The body has a complex set of systems to try to keep blood pressure to your brain the same all the time. It's a very complex, tightly regulated system, and it appears that somewhere, in one of those mechanisms, traffic-related air pollution interferes with blood pressure," said Joel Kaufman, who led the research.Researchers monitored the blood pressure of healthy participants between 22 and 45 years when they drove through rush-hour Seattle traffic. During two drives, unfiltered road air was allowed to enter the car, while on the third, HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters blocked out 86% of particulate pollution. Participants were not aware if they were breathing clean air or unfiltered one."Breathing unfiltered air resulted in net blood pressure increases of more than 4.50 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) when compared to drives with filtered air. The increase occurred rapidly, peaking about an hour into the drive and holding steady for at least 24 hours," the researchers wroteThe study did not examine the blood pressure variation beyond the 24-hour mark."We know that modest increases in blood pressure like this, on a population level, are associated with a significant increase in cardiovascular disease. There is a growing understanding that air pollution contributes to heart problems. The idea that roadway air pollution at relatively low levels can affect blood pressure this much is an important piece of the puzzle we're trying to solve," Kaufman said.Although the overall level of pollution measured by fine particle concentration (PM 2.5) was relatively low in the study, unfiltered air contained high levels of ultrafine particles. Ultrafine particles are unregulated pollutants with a size of less than 100 nanometers in diameter that have become a source of growing concern among public health experts."This study is exciting because it takes the gold-standard design for laboratory studies and applies it in an on-roadway setting, answering an important question about the health effects of real-world exposures. Studies on this topic often have a challenging time separating the effects of pollution from other roadway exposures like stress and noise, but with our approach, the only difference between drive days was air pollution concentration," said Michael Young, a lead author of the study. "The findings are valuable because they can reproduce situations that millions of people actually experience every day."\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/sw\/kupumua-katika-hewa-chafu-wakati-wa-msongamano-mkubwa-wa-magari-kunaweza-kuongeza-shinikizo-la-damu-la-abiria\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-11-28T08:55:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"dakika 2\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Urban Care Clinic\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930\"},\"headline\":\"Breathing In Polluted Air During Heavy Traffic Could Raise Blood Pressure Of Passengers\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-11-28T08:55:01+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":487,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/11\\\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Medical Daily\"],\"inLanguage\":\"sw\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/breathing-in-polluted-air-during-heavy-traffic-could-raise-blood-pressure-of-passengers\\\/\",\"name\":\"Breathing In Polluted Air During Heavy Traffic Could Raise Blood Pressure Of Passengers -
