Researchers have found that air pollution is associated with detrimental impacts on human and animals health, including increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

 

The study, published in The Journal of Physiology, by researchers at The university of Manchester in UK, shows that the knowledge people have about how pollution harms the hearts of marine species can be applied to humans, as the underlying mechanisms are similar.According to the researchers, in 2010, research on fish after the 'Deepwater Horizon oil spill', which released large quantities of PAHs into the marine environment, showed that the heart's ability to contract was impaired.

 

"Reducing air pollution is crucial to protecting our heart health, which is why the british heart Foundation, is calling on the next government to commit to reducing air pollution to within WHO limits," Pearson said.
