In the UK, air pollution is a major issue, but it can be fixed. We’ve already successfully sued the UK government three times for failing to shield the country’s citizens from toxic air pollution.
People now place a higher priority on clean air than ever before. Since the coronavirus outbreak, many of us have been more concerned about air pollution as our attention has become more intensely focused on our health and the health of the people we care about.
The level of harm someone is exposed to will determine how contaminants affect their health. This covers the quantity, length, and method of exposure to the pollutant, as well as variables including age, sex, food, familial characteristics, lifestyle, and state of health.
The heart and blood arteries that supply it, the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as the lungs and respiratory system, can all be harmed by air pollution. Exacerbation of asthma, changes in lung function, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath, as well as an increase in respiratory and cardiovascular hospital admissions and death, can all result from short-term exposure (over hours or days).

In order to combat air pollution and its negative effects on health, communities, families, and individuals need the cooperation of health and care professionals. UK medical practitioners see hundreds of thousands of patients every day.
Many of these people already have health issues, which elevated air pollution levels may make worse. In order to prevent exposure and suggest steps to be done to lower any avoidable hazards, it is crucial that health and care workers are prepared.
Consider the resources available in health and wellness systems as well as the potential impact of earlier diagnosis and better management while being aware of the requirements of individuals, communities, and the public, as well as the services that are offered.
