Can Environmental Pollution Cause Asthma?

There have been a range of studies over the past few decades that have shown a significant rise in the chronic disease asthma. Our environment is growing more polluted with what we are putting in the air, burying in the ground or spray on our food. These chemicals are starting to have adverse affects on our bodies with an increase in disease and illness. Recognition of this increase is evident and the world is taking notice and trying to change things. But is it too late? A young reporter did a study on infants being born with over 200 different types of chemicals and toxins inside their bodies. Some are known carcinogens that can cause cancer and other diseases. She was so struck by this amount of toxins in the infants that she did a study on her blood to see what she had in her body. What she found was astonishing. A PCB (polychlorinated Biphenyls) that had been banned in the U.S. 30 years ago was found in her blood.

After 30 years of being banned, the PCB's were found in her blood, what does that mean? It means that our world is a toxic playground of environmental pollutions, which wreak havoc on our bodies. There is no ban in other 3rd world countries to stop the production of this chemical. With the rise in diseases like Asthma and other respiratory diseases, there is no doubt that environmental pollution is playing a big role in what affects our bodies. It causes us to become sick and contract disease. What can we do about this? The damage has already been done, so now it is up to us to find ways to remove the toxins from our bodies. There are several things you can do in your home to help minimize the flow of toxins into your body. Here are some ideas to limit exposure.

• Clean fruits and vegetables before you eat them.
• Use an air filter inside your home to help filter the air.
• Stay inside your home on bad pollution days.
• Use a vacuum that uses a filter made to limit the dust exhaust.
• On good days try to spend more time outdoors, indoor air can sometimes be worse than outdoor air.
• Live where industrial pollution is the lowest.

These are just a few ideas on how you can minimize your intake of environmental toxins. Over the past few decades, the burning of coal has subsided considerably. The plants that burn coal produce emissions of sulfur dioxide and other particulate matter. As our world becomes more populated, the increase in motor vehicles is on the rise and so is the pollution that comes from their exhaust. The most harmful emissions to date are the emissions made from diesel engines. Diesel emissions have several known carcinogens in it that have been shown to cause respiratory distress and even cancer. An example; When inhaler medication were being tested they were trying to find the exact particulate size of aerosol medication it would take to reach into the deepest part of the lungs. What they found was a particulate size of 2.5 microns was the perfect size to reach the deepest part of the lung. What is alarming to me is that the particulates in the smoke coming from these trucks are the exact size of 2.5 microns. That means those pollutants are being inhaled by all of us and they're finding their way into the deepest part of our lungs, staggering.

At this point in time there is no exact cause of asthma. I believe that asthma for the most part is caused by what we have done to our planet, with the environmental pollution that we fill our world with on a daily basis. There is no hiding from it because it is everywhere and in everything. The best way to battle this growing problem is not fighting it from the outside in but fighting the battle from the inside out. What I mean is we need to find a way to remove the toxic burden that is already inside all of us. This will stop the development of disease and illness that comes from within. My son was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 4 and all we did was find a natural way to remove toxins that didn't have any kind of side effects and the results are staggering.
