Air pollution exposure substantially increases death risk to those with diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, arthritis, study finds
Probably not a surprise to many, but a just-presented study found that regular exposure to air pollution kills people — and especially at risk are those with certain diseases. Those include:
• Diabetes.
• Inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and lupus.
• Heart disease.
• Lung disease.
And just one year’s exposure to moderate air pollution is enough to increase fatalities, found the study presented May 22 at the American Thoracic Society International Conference and reported in Medical News Today.
