Exposure to fine dust increases high blood pressure risk: study
Exposure to fine dust increases chances of developing high blood pressure, a study by Seoul National University showed Monday.
It is the first time that long-term research has found a correlation between air pollutants and cardiovascular disease in South Korea.
Aside from fine dust, exposure to elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide also increased risk of high blood pressure. Kim Ho, the dean of Seoul National University’s Graduate School of Public Health, said the research suggests that those who have cardiovascular disease should avoid air pollutants just as much as those with respiratory diseases.
