If you live in the countryside, you might think you are safe from the detrimental health impacts of air pollution. However, new research has found that as little as five days of exposure can significantly increase your risk of stroke.
"We analyzed data from 18,035,408 cases of ischemic stroke from 110 observational studies from all over the world," study author Ahmad Toubasi told."We found out that increase in air pollution is associated with increase in both ischemic stroke risk and its related mortality." Different pollutants have different effects on the body so mechanisms behind this increased stroke risk may vary on location."The association between short-term exposure to pollutants and ischemic stroke as well as cardiovascular diseases was attributed to several mechanisms," Toubasi said.
