空气污染竟是心脏病元凶 白领难逃脱
The main trigger for a heart attack is not vigorous exercise or stress — it’s air pollution, according to a study published in The Lancet this month. Researchers found spending time in traffic, whether as a driver or pedestrian, tops the list of ‘last straw’ risk factors that bring on a heart attack.最新研究显示，引起心脏病的促因并非过度锻炼以及精神压力过大，专家指出：空气污染才是引起心脏病的“罪魁祸首”，而关于空气污染诱发心脏病的数据都发表在英国著名医学《柳叶刀》上，并在上个月与读者见面了。研究人员发现在路面工作的人群，比如司机或者行人等，是心脏病的高发群体。
Jon Ayres, professor of environmental and respiratory medicine at the University of Birmingham, says: Air pollution is not only linked to strokes, heart attacks and cancer — it has a profound effect on those with existing respiratory conditions. Asthmatics are more likely to have an asthma attack on days when pollution is high. So how can you minimise the damage? We asked the experts for their tips on breathing easy.
来自伯明翰大学的教授Jon Ayres说：“大气污染不仅对中风、心脏病以及癌症有着直接的影响，而且环境污染对人体的呼吸系统有着巨大的负面作用。此外，在大气污染情况严重的时候，哮喘病的发作频率是相当高的。”怎样才能降低空气污染对我们身体造成的伤害呢？在办公室内的污浊空气也会对我们身体造成巨大伤害，我们该怎样保护自己呢？
