Dr. dashil Vainap, a nasopharyngeologist
at Helamin General Hospital in Vadodara, India, 

00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:14.780 
said air pollution is one of the common
causes of respiratory tract inflammation. 

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.493 
The body often calls for help through 8
obvious signs and early recognition can 

00:00:18.493 --> 00:00:20.120 
help protect the throat and lungs better. 

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.020 
1. Dry or itchy throat that 

00:00:23.020 --> 00:00:26.134 
Polished air dehydrates the throat
lining, causing irritation and leading 

00:00:26.134 --> 00:00:27.380 
to a persistent cough. 

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.400 
2. Pain or burning in the throat 

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:33.939 
Smoke, dust, and chemicals in the air
can cause sore throat tissue, making 

00:00:33.939 --> 00:00:35.300 
you feel pain when swallowing. 

00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:37.460 
3. Coughing 

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:40.840 
This is the body's natural reaction
to remove polluted particles. 

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.100 
The cough is often long and
gets worse when the AQI increases. 

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:46.440 
4. Rough 

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:48.774 
Pollution causes inflammation of the
laryngosum, causing a loss of hearing, 

00:00:48.774 --> 00:00:50.260 
difficulty speaking or rapid loss of hearing. 

00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:54.020 
5. Top-level throat or
respiratory infections re-em up 

00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:57.211 
Exposure to polluted air weakens the
immunity in the nasal and throat areas, 

00:00:57.211 --> 00:00:59.420 
making the body more susceptible to viruses and bacteria. 

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:01.560 
6. Tears 

00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.580 
Polluting substances irritate the eye
surface, causing redness, itching and continuous tearing. 

00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:08.900 
7. nasal congestion or runny nose 

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:12.273 
The nasal lining is inflamed by
pollutants, causing symptoms similar to 

00:01:12.273 --> 00:01:14.420 
allergic rhinitis and making breathing more difficult. 

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:17.160 
8. Shortness of breath or chest tightness 

00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:20.010 
Polludable air can cause bronchial
contractions, creating a feeling of 

00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:22.860 
chest heaviness and is especially
dangerous for people with asthma.
