How ecology affects women's health? What diseases causes bad ecology? Answers to these questions you will find in the article.

with the fact that the state of health of any person, including
pregnant woman, according to the World Health Organization,
50% depends on social and psychological factors, by 20-25% - from
Inheritance factors and 20-25% - from the state of the environment.
Organism
Pregnant woman susceptible to various kinds of harmful substances,
The source of which is its habitat. Harmful substances,
Future mom falling into the body can affect growth and development
fruit. It is, during the first 14-60 days the embryo is exposed
greater risk, since in this period the brain and the main
Life organs. However, the child is dangerous in
the course of all nine months, it is important here to consider the type and quantity
affecting substance.
Air and ecology
American
Research confirmed that in different cities, unfavorable
Environment Maken in 20-30% complications during pregnancy.
Scientists have long been known about the connection between air quality and morbidity
Newborn.
American scientists have proven to pollution
The atmosphere increases the likelihood of births of children with defects.
More than a dozen research conducted in the USA, Brazil, Mexico, South
Korea, Europe demonstrates the connection of the concentration of harmful substances in
atmosphere with premature childbirth, low weight newborn,
stillbirth and infant mortality.
Epidemiologists from
University of California (Los Angeles, USA) studied influence on
The course of pregnancy and health of newborn children of two main
Pollutants of the atmosphere - carbon monoxide and ozone emitted
Internal combustion engines. Doctors evaluated the content of toxic
substances in the air of the area where the future mother lived, and
compared it with the probability of developing a child of congenital defects
Development. The results were very deprecious - the more
pollutants kept in the air to which a woman breathed, the higher
It turned out to be the likelihood of a child with congenital heart disease,
requiring cardiac surgery.
Sure,
pregnant woman is better to live in the countryside, in the country
from emissions of industrial enterprises and the most dangerous pollution
vehicle-related air. But if you do not have such
Opportunities, choose a place for walking in the city away from
highways, especially in the evening, because exactly then
The concentration of harmful emissions in the air is above all.
Water and ecology
Quality
Water water in large cities provide cleansing
Constructions. Help improve water quality all kinds of filters, most
The main thing is not to forget to change them regularly, because they can
Hard metals and filter can accumulate
Source of harm. Do not forget to check when buying availability
hygienic certificate.
Modern synthetic covers and ecology
Contemporary
fashion on synthetic coatings, carpets, linoleum that can highlight
phenol, formaldehyde and other harmful substances can hardly be considered
Functional and useful. Advice here is only one - give
Preference in apartment arrangement with natural materials, such as
wood.
Another danger - excessive fullness
Modern apartments with household appliances. If the technique works constantly,
It can adversely affect the pregnant and her fruit,
Therefore, it is not worth a long stay at the working microwave or for a computer and
talk for hours on cell phone.
As studied research,
most «Critical» is the second month of pregnancy when
Most fetus organs develop and face features.
Air pollution of residential and office premises is the main
Risk factor for pregnant women. To this unequivocal
The conclusion was the experts of the World Health Organization (WHO).
According to scientists, the air in the premises of offices and apartments is 4-6 times
dirtier atmospheric and 8-10 times toxic.
Air indoor and ecology
The sources of air pollution indoors are:
- Chemicals that have fallen outside;
- bacteria, viruses, spores of fungi and mold;
- dust (is one of the main sources of infections);
- tobacco smoke;
- Electrical appliances, first of all the screens of TVs and computers.
Pollution lead
Lead
Widely applied in industry for many centuries. IN
Our time is part of gasoline, paints and other products,
used in the house and at work. Lead is dangerous to the health of each
man, especially for kids, as well as not yet born children.
High lead concentration can lead:
to the development of pathological course of pregnancy;- to the underdevelopment of the fetus;
- to premature childbirth;
- to the insufficient mass of the body of the newborn.
Little
children are most sensitive to toxic lead action, which
manifests itself in changing physical and psychological development -
Standards in growth, aggression, hyperactivity, as well as reducing
Learning ability.
Newborn and children under 7 may be observed:
- irritability;
- stomach ache;
- Ataxia (coordination disorder of movements);
- loss of consciousness.
Women,
who live in old (dilapidated) houses, are more susceptible to
exposure to high lead concentrations. About 80% of residential buildings,
Built until 1978, painted paint containing lead.
The loud paint forms lead dust, and it in turn is very
Dangerous for the body.
Pollution of volatile organic compounds
Chemicals
widely used as components of household products
Use. Paints, varnishes and wax contain organic solvents,
Like most cleaning, disinfectants, cosmetic,
degreasing and other means. Solvents are liquids,
dissolving other chemicals; Most of them very quickly
evaporates in the air. Various types of fuel also consist of
Organic chemicals.
Sources:
- Building materials, floor coverings and adhesives
- Household chemicals, such as cleaning products, hair polish, glue and paint
- In the clothes after dry cleaning there may be residual amounts of solvents
Impact on Health:
- headaches;
- irritation on the skin;
- dyspnea;
- nausea, vomiting;
- nose bleed.
Electromagnetic fields and ecology
Electromagnetic
Radiation (AM), you can not feel. But it exists and acts on
human organism. Especially the mechanism of exposure to Amy has not yet been studied.
The effect of this radiation is not manifested immediately, but as accumulation,
Therefore, it is difficult to attribute one or another disease, suddenly
The resulting person at the expense of the instruments with which he contacted. But
Numerous observations suggest that Amy reduces immunity,
affects the endocrine system.
During the same pregnancy it can
lead to:
- spontaneous abortion;
- premature childbirth;
- The emergence of congenital malformations in children.
Electromagnetic
Radiation comes from many. And if several devices
Located a short distance from each other, their radiation is like,
Layout. And in the zones of such intersections the electromagnetic field
Enharged. Therefore, it is very important to arrange an electrical appliance correctly.
What kind
The same devices emit electromagnetic fields? All that is included in
Outlet or work from batteries, batteries. Refrigerator, coffee maker,
Toaster, microwave oven, electric stove, hair dryer, TV in greater or less
degrees spread electromagnetic waves.
Radiation and ecology
Each person is subject to some kind of background radiation (environmental radiation).
Radiation sources:
- Space radiation;
- Radioactive substances in the soil (Uranus, Radon);
- radionuclides in products;
- Equipment (X-ray).
Radiation
affects human health in different ways - redness may appear on
skin, on the one hand, on the other, develops cancer. Maliciousness
The consequences depends on the amount of radiation, on its type and time
Impact.
Radon and Ecology
Radon is a radioactive gas that does not have color, smell and taste.
Big
The probability of high radon content indoors is characteristic
houses built on the ground. The source of Radon is uranium, which in
Small quantities are present in all soils and rocks. Radon also
found in natural conditions in the water of some wells.
Therefore, the effects of radon manifests itself in different degrees in different
Regions.
Impact on Health: Long-term exposure to radon
Increases the risk of lung oncology. According to the agency
Environmental Protection (The Environmental Protection Agency) from cancer
Lungs caused by radon dies from 30,000 to 60,000 people per year.
Be
Careful and remember that extremely allowable concentrations (MPC),
Developed in relation to chemical compounds, are defined
relative to the body of women outside pregnancy. While
Pregnancy strengthens the sensitivity of the female organism to
unfavorable environmental factors, to whose first
queue should include chemicals.
