The Hidden Damage Of The Auto-Mobile

We sometimes overlook rather obvious things. It’s not entirely our fault, our minds are conditioned to think a certain way and it can be very difficult for us to put two and two together when we don’t realise we’re sat in a Maths class. Asthma is an inflammatory condition which is hugely influenced by the environment, things like dust or certain kinds of pollen can set off a reaction and leave the asthmatic struggling to breathe. Failing to act immediately can leave an asthmatic’s life in danger but most asthmatics will carry an inhaler with which they can receive a dose of corticosteroids which will ease the symptoms of the attack.

But, moving away from what asthma is and back to my mathematical analogy. There’s something else which can set off an asthmatic attack and actually, prolonged exposure to it can actually cause the condition to form in the first place. Any idea what it could be?

Pollution, generally the pollution which comes off a busy roadway. Living near or on a road can and will raise the likelihood of your child developing asthma in the first place and when they get it it’ll do nothing but cause them more and more harm.
See, it’s fairly obvious when you think that natural environment stimulants like pollen and dust are bad for asthmatics. If they are then the often toxic chemicals which are pumped out by internal combustion engines are going to be much worse and unlike the other factors, these chemicals are always there because there isn’t a time of year when there’s less traffic.

Beyond moving house there’s not much that can be done to counter this. Make sure your kids have got their inhaler with them at all times and be away of the rush hour periods, in those times don’t let your kids play too much outside.
