The most severe impact of the effects of smog is an inflammatory disease of the lungs, known as wet lungs (pneumonia) may be present in your body. Well, if the pneumonia has entered into your body, then within that short time you will be affected by inflammation of the lining of the brain (meningitis), even in the worst case is respiratory failure.
While the impact and dangers of smog that is most common is acute penfasan tract infection (ARI). In the records of Indonesian Forum for Environment (WALHI), already 13 people who died from upper respiratory infections (ARI) and two others died of obstructed visibility.
Here are some of the negative effects and dangers of smog on health:
- Smog can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, and cause allergic reactions, inflammation and possibly infection.
- Smog can worsen asthma and other chronic lung diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, COPD and so on.
- Reduced work ability of the lungs and cause a person easily tired and having difficulty breathing.
- For those who are older (elderly) and children or who have a chronic disease, with conditions that lower the immune system will be more prone to get health problems.
- Infkesi-solving skills, lungs and respiratory tract is reduced, thus making it easier infection.
- Various chronic diseases can also deteriorate.
- Pollutants in the smoke of forest fires can be a source of pollutants in the water supply and food are not protected.
- Acute respiratory infections (ARI) so it is easier to happen, mainly because the immune system imbalance (host), the pattern of bacteria / viruses that cause disease (agent) as well as poor environment (environment).
Tjandra explained, smog can cause local irritation of the mucous membranes in the nose, mouth and throat. Then also cause allergic reactions, inflammation, to acute respiratory infections (ARI) and heaviest become pneumonia.
"The ability of the lungs and respiratory tract infections are also overcome more easily reduced, causing an infection," said Tjandra.
In addition to respiratory infections, other impacts namely, interference irritation to the eyes and skin due to direct contact with the smoke of forest fires. Ranging from itchy, watery eyes, inflammation, and infection was advancing. For those who already have asthma and other chronic lung diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and COPD will be exacerbated if the smoke as the smoke inhaled into the lungs.
