Kakinada, Nov 5th: Air pollution in Kakinada city is gradually increasing. Environmental experts say that increasing population and industries, higher usage of motor vehicles and poor maintenance of sanitation are playing a vital role in increasing pollution. Motor vehicles release chemicals from their exhausts, while fires and log burners release particles and other chemicals. When these build up in the air, they cause air pollution. The amount of pollution in the air depends on the amount of pollution produced and the rate at which the pollutants disperse.
Dr. K.V.S.G Murali Krishna, environmental expert and head of the Civil Engineering department of JNTU-K, said that air pollution was more dangerous than water pollution as it affects the sensitive parts of a human body like the lungs and heart. A study found that people living in areas with higher air pollution had a 12 percent higher risk for all cardiovascular diseases combined with diabetes. The risk for heart diseases which typically leads to a heart attack was 18 per cent greater.
