The links between soil and water pollution and cardiovascular disease
🔬 Healthy soil and clean water are essential to ecosystem sustainability and human well-being.🔬 Chemical pollution accounts for millions of premature deaths and non-communicable diseases, particularly CVD.🔬 Toxic chemicals cause cellular damage through oxidative stress, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances.🔬 Micro/nanoplastics, pervasive environmental contaminants, cause vascular injury, and transgenerational reproductive effects.🔬 Enhanced pollution controls and sustainable… Continue reading The links between soil and water pollution and cardiovascular disease
Transportation noise and the cardiometabolic risk
💡 Transportation noise causes neurohormonal activation, sleep impairment and stress responses.💡 Noise-induced stress hormone signaling via RAAS leads to inflammation, oxidative stress and cardiovascular dysfunction.💡 Noise increases the risk of diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases.💡 Co-exposure to noise, air pollution or lack of green space causes cumulative increase of risk for diabetes.
