The link between air pollution and noncommunicable diseases is startling and takes a huge toll on individuals, communities, & society as a whole. The NCDs that are commonly impacted by exposure to air pollution include chronic respiratory diseases, heart diseases, lung cancer, diabetes, & dementia.

Both long- & short-term exposure to air pollution can have detrimental health impacts related to COPD. Long-term exposure can lead to the development of COPD, while even short-term exposure can lead to flare-ups & worsen symptoms for people who already have COPD.

Long-term exposure to air pollution can increase the risk of stroke through effects on our cardiovascular system. This happens as a result of pollutants entering the bloodstream through the lungs.
