Question

which air pollutant of the following increases heat related diseases and blood pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

Exposure to air pollution containing PM2.5 is closely associated with cardiovascular disease, as assessed in a large study from metropolitan areas in the United States. The increased risk of lung cancer and cardiovascular death after exposure to PM2.5 was also seen in a cross-sectional study.

Answer 2

Answer:

In summary, this study suggests that air pollution affects BP within hours after exposure. Gaseous pollutants such as O3 and NO2 increased systolic and diastolic BP in the short term. Patients with hypertension were shown to be more vulnerable to the BP-elevating effects than normotensive subjects.
