Breathing is a vital function of the body without which we can't survive. During respiration we are inhaling the number of pollutants that accumulates in the body and develop various side effects. These pollutants directly affect the respiratory system and the Cardio Vascular System as inhaled pollutants enter in the lungs and through that into bloodstream i.e enters into cardio vascular system.

Cardiovascular system is a major system in the body on which each and every tissue and organ is dependent because they get nourishment through the blood. This system is highly susceptible to develop various problems. Moreover, air pollution exacerbates the existing heart diseases.

  • Arrhythmia – Irregular heart rhythm that arises due to irregular pumping of the heart i.e sometimes heart beats very fast or very slow.
  • Stroke – Air pollution is not the direct cause stroke but it acts as a predisposing factor that triggers the stroke.
  • Hypertension – Often air pollution is a precursor for high blood pressure.
