Indoor pollution, the most injured in infants and young children
Indoor air pollution is a condition in which harmful chemical factors, physical factors, and/or biological factors enter indoor air and have reached a direct or indirect, near-term or long-term, or potentially harmful effect on the body’s physical and mental health.
Generally speaking, indoor air pollution refers to the indoor environmental pollution behavior that affects human health due to excessive levels of harmful substances in indoor air caused by various reasons. Hazardous substances include formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, radioactive cesium, and the like. As the degree of pollution increases, the human body will produce sub-health reactions and even threaten life safety.
What harm does indoor air pollution have to infants and young children?
According to research published by the World Health Organization and the US Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution levels are generally much higher than outdoor environmental pollution, usually 2 to 5 times, and in extreme cases more than 100 times. People spend 90% of their time indoors, especially when babies and children breathe more air than adults (by spirometry/weight ratio), so they contact and inhale more indoor pollutants. They are the special group that suffers the most from indoor air pollution. In the long run, it also has an impact on children’s health. In communities where PM is heavily polluted, children’s lungs develop more slowly and the efficiency of transporting air is not as high as that of children in the clean air community.
There are many ways for children to come into contact with pollution sources: not only can they infiltrate polluted air through the respiratory tract, but also contact various sources of pollution through skin contact, sucking, and biting. In particular, infants and young children have an additional route of contact, which is obtained by sucking and biting the toys and articles, and by contacting the skin of the parents who use the cosmetics.
Detoxification and detoxification function of infants and young children is not perfect: the liver used for detoxification and detoxification of kidneys are immature, and their functions are not perfect. They can not detoxify and excrete various indoor pollutants entering the body, so they are polluted by indoors. More serious people with air damage.
