Yellow dust and fine dust from China threaten mental health
How badly does yellow sand and fine dust affect the human body?
These days, fine dust advisories are frequently announced., PM2.5 Ultrafine dust is mainly expressed in China and brought to Korea.
Respiratory medicine specialists explain that fine particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 μm, which are generated from exhaust fumes that generate various pollutants as China’s fossil fuel consumption has not decreased, have adversely affected respiratory and circulatory diseases so far.
A research team from the Graduate School of Integrated Life Sciences at Hiroshima University in Japan announced the results of a study that found that ultrafine dust causes inflammation in the brain and exacerbates the course of cerebral infarction.
In an international journal (Particle and Fiber Toxicology), the research team confirmed this through a cerebral infarction model mouse experiment, drawing attention in the field of toxicology in each country, and the related academia is very concerned about it as a red flag for Korean respiratory health.
Director Jung-Min Moon, CEO of the Jung-Min Moon Mental Health Psychological Center, commented on the clinical results that recent overseas studies on fine dust and brain-related diseases showed that exposure to air pollutants such as ultra-fine dust increases the hospitalization period of patients with cerebral infarction and increases the mortality rate within one year. Director Moon of the Psychological Center explained that although the mechanism by which ultrafine dust worsens the course of cerebral infarction is unclear, it is an established theory in the related academic world that ultrafine dust can cause health problems.
A research team at the Graduate School of Integrated Life Sciences at Hiroshima University in Japan administered 100 μg of physiological saline containing chemicals collected from a ventilation system filter in Beijing, China to cerebral infarction model mice for 7 days, and then measured the activity of microglial cells, which are important for cognitive function.
Jung-Min Moon, CEO of Mental Health Psychological Center, Director Jung-Min Moon, explains the research results in a simple way. Said it could lead to Alzheimer’s.
Experts are warning us that ultrafine dust is adversely affecting our health.
