New research that may see you giving more attention to the quality of the air breathed in has recently been published via the ‘The New England Journal of Medicine’.
It showed that long-term exposure to ground level ozone gases substantially increases the risk of dying from breathing complications. The risk is more than 30% greater in the cities that have the highest ozone concentrations in comparison to the places with the lowest concentrations of ozone gases.
It followed 450,000 subjects across nearly 100 metropolitan regions over an 18-year period. During the 18-year period, Riverside California was found to have the highest concentrations, while the San Francisco had the lowest.
Most often, cities towards the north-east of America had lesser concentrations than western states such as California – Los Angeles was shown to have a 43% greater risk, while Washington DC came in at 27% and New York at 25%.
What the experts {recommend you to do~A good way} to manage the risk is to your outdoors jobs and chores in the morning, or later on in the day in order to avoid the hottest, sunniest hours, particularly should you be living in a warmer climate. Having your windows closed when ozone gases are at their highest level is also advised.
In general, educate yourself about your environment. Give serious consideration to limiting the amount of time that you’re exposed to a gas that researchers are increasingly finding to be dangerous. This research on itself isn’t conclusive but it gives a pretty clear indication that danger surrounds us.
If you, or your family or friends, suffer from breathing problems, you should keep an eye on the ozone levels in the town or city in which you or they reside. Though it may seem drastic to move to somewhere else, it could literally result in prolonging their or your life.
