HOW DOES AIR POLLUTION IMPACT ASTHMA 

Air pollution can significantly impact asthma, exacerbating symptoms and triggering attacks. Here are some ways air pollution affects asthma:

-Air pollutants like particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) can trigger inflammation in the airways.

-Air pollutants can irritate the airways, making them more sensitive and reactive.

-Exposure to air pollution can increase asthma symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

-Long-term exposure to air pollution can reduce lung function and increase the risk of asthma attacks.
