Preliminary Results from the Ugaar Randomized Intervention Study of Air Pollution and Fetal Growth was introduced today and it shows that 130 children and 1400 adults die from air pollution in Ulaanbaatar city annually.
According to the study conducted among the capital city, air pollution has been shown to exacerbate pneumonia of children and cardiovascular disease of adults.
In other words, air pollution is not the cause of any diseases, it aggravates the disease and makes life threatening.
In last five years, bad effects of air pollution of Ulaanbaatar city was increased by two times, reported by the PhD and Director of School of Public Health, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences O.Chimedsuren.
Moreover she cited that not only outdoor air pollution but also indoor air quality is not good enough. Indoor PM 2.5 levels are high and 50 percent of indoor air pollution is caused by cigarette smoke. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with hospital admissions and several serious health effects, including premature death.
School of Public Health, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences have conducted "UGAAR 1" study in cooperation with Simon Fraser University since 2010. Next study called "UGAAR 2" will be continued until 2020 and will come up with specific information on how to protect yourself from air pollution.
The study provides evidence to support the hypothesis that air purifier use during pregnancy may reduce the effects of air pollution exposure on impaired fetal growth.
