Just inhale this kind of poison gas and say why more people die from stroke, heart attack

British experts say dust particles from engine exhaust can penetrate deep into the body, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Scientists have long known that air pollution is "toxic" to the lungs, but until now they have not been sure whether dust particles from engine exhaust can penetrate deep into the body. is not?

However, recent research by scientists at the University of Edinburgh has shown that microscopic dust particles in engine exhaust can "outperform" quality measuring equipment and enter the lungs and blood, increases the risk of heart attack, stroke.

Ultra-fine dust particles in engine exhaust can enter the lungs and blood, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

To draw this conclusion, the team used a series of harmless gold nanoparticles of similar size to dust in diesel exhaust in a simulation of cycling around the city.

By looking at the surgery samples, experts discovered that gold nanoparticles have accumulated fat-containing areas in blood vessels, thereby causing heart attacks and strokes.

A previous study showed that cardiovascular disease, stroke accounted for about 80% of about 50,000 deaths due to air pollution each year in the UK.

This finding will cause many people to worry because the standard device is only capable of measuring the amount of pollution particles in the air and not their number.

While the total amount of pollution has decreased, it is possible that the number of dust particles from the exhaust gas is increasing, capable of penetrating deep into the body.

Dr. Nicholas Mills, professor of cardiology at Edinburgh University, one of the co-authors of the study, shared: " We always suspect that the nanoparticles in the air we breathe can escape from the lungs and infiltrate other parts of the body, but until now there is no specific evidence.

But with this discovery, it is really important because of direct impact on human health. Now we need to focus our attention on cutting emissions and exposure to microscopic dust particles in the air. "

Vehicles must install filters to reduce the amount of dust particles released.

Researchers say that while gasoline engines emit 50 times less emissions than diesel engines, microscopic dust particles from gasoline engine emissions can also enter the lungs.

Dr. Mark Miller added: "It's amazing that the air we breathe every day contains microscopic dust particles that can flow into our blood and enter every nook and cranny of the body. And when they come into contact with sensitive areas of the body, there will be serious consequences. "

Therefore, the solution is that all vehicles must install filters to reduce the amount of dust particles released. Even though they can make the car consume more fuel and operate less efficiently, it is imperative to protect ourselves and this Earth.
