There are several types of air pollution. Atmospheric air pollution implies the presence of harmful PM 2.5 particles in it. There is also indoor air pollution and occurs when inefficient cooking methods are used (for example, when using coal, kerosene).
Research by Otavio Ranzani and others looked at 1,044 young people aged 20 to 26. This information is from the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Survey (APCAPS) conducted in 2010-2012. The scientists measured their lung function.
The analysis found that air pollution in the home (i.e., air pollution in homes) led to a decrease in lung function. And this was especially noticeable in young people living in families where non-ventilated biomass stoves were used: their lung volume was reduced by 211 ml. In addition, experts found that PM 2.5 particles also affect the deterioration of lung function.
