Cherchez la poésie vivante
a pollution atmosphérique affecte directement la paroi des vaisseaux sanguins, y compris chez des sujets jeunes et en bonne santé. C'est ce que démontre l'équipe de Pierre Boutouyrie (Inserm UMR 872, Hôpital européen Georges-Pompidou, Paris) dans une étude publiée dans le numéro de novembre de la revue américaine Hypertension
Sulphur Dioxide
Exposure to very high levels of sulfur dioxide can be life threatening. Exposure to 100 parts of sulfur dioxide per million parts of air (100 ppm) is considered immediately dangerous to life and health. Burning of the nose and throat, breathing difficulties, and severe airway obstructions occurred in miners who breathed sulfur dioxide released as a result of an explosion in a copper mine.
Long-term exposure to persistent levels of sulfur dioxide can affect your health. Lung function changes were seen in some workers exposed to low levels of sulfur dioxide for 20 years or more. However, these workers were also exposed to other chemicals, so their health effects may not have been from sulfur dioxide alone. Asthmatics have also been shown to be sensitive to the respiratory effects of low concentrations of sulfur dioxide.
Animal studies also show respiratory effects from breathing sulfur dioxide. Animals exposed to high concentrations of sulfur dioxide showed decreased respiration, inflammation of the airways, and destruction of areas of the lung.
