Moderate Air Pollution Associated with Advanced Coronary Artery Disease
- Long-term exposure to even moderate levels of air pollution was associated with more calcium buildup, more plaque and more advanced coronary artery disease, suggesting your heart is affected long before symptoms appear
- Women exposed to higher levels of fine particle pollution were about 80% more likely to have severe blockages in the arteries supplying the heart, highlighting that air pollution doesn't affect everyone equally
- Ultrafine particles from vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, power plants and gas stoves are even smaller than the pollutants measured in the study, travel throughout your body after entering your lungs and outnumber microplastics by an enormous margin
- Because most people spend about 90% of their time indoors, improving your home's air quality with a HEPA purifier, proper kitchen ventilation and smart window habits dramatically reduces your daily pollution exposure
- Choosing cleaner air when possible, eating minimally processed whole foods, avoiding ultraprocessed foods and exercising away from heavy traffic work together to reduce chronic inflammation and help protect your arteries over the long term
