How does pollution Impact the Health of Kids ? Read to know more...

Pollution is a major problem in India, and it has a significant impact on children’s health and well-being. According to a report by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), children in India are among the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which threatens their health, education, and protection. Air pollution is one of the most significant contributors to the problem, with around 90% of the world’s children breathing poisonous air every day.

Air pollution can cause a range of health problems, including respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, skin diseases, and cancer. It can also have a profound effect on the next generation of Indians, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory disease for today’s children when they become adults.

It is important to take steps to reduce pollution and protect children’s health. Prevention or reduction of human exposure is best done via source-directed measures, i.e. strict control of industrial processes to reduce formation of pollutants.

In conclusion, pollution is a serious problem in India, and it has a significant impact on children’s health and well-being. By being mindful of the sources of pollution and taking steps to reduce exposure, we can help protect our children’s health and ensure a better future for them.
