Scientists from Oxford University have studied how living near roads and busy roads affects human health. They found that people who live close to highways significantly increase their risk of premature death due to heart disease..
The danger of busy highways is explained by the high concentration of automobile gases.
Researchers have been able to measure their impact on human health by studying 4,000 thousand people living at different distances from highways. The closer a person lived to the highway, the worse things were with his heart.
It turned out that PM2 particles. 5 contained in automobile gases, when ingested, increase the size of the chambers of the heart muscle. This leads to the fact that the myocardium loses the ability to pump blood through the body. Such a violation increases the risk of a heart attack..
