10 Surprising Ways Climate Change Boosts Lung Cancer and Other Health Issues.
Climate change isn’t just about the environment; it’s also affecting our health. Rising air pollution from climate change is linked to more lung cancer cases due to factors like wildfires and higher temperatures. Here are how climate change affect your lung and overall health.

00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,
00:1210 surprising ways climate change boosts lung cancer and other health issues.
00:16Climate change isn't just about the environment, it's also affecting our health.
00:20Rising air pollution from climate change is linked to more lung cancer cases due to factors
00:24like wildfires and higher temperatures. Here are how climate change affect your
00:28lung and overall health. 1. Wildfires.
00:31Wildfires release harmful particles into the air, significantly contributing to lung cancer.
00:36Just a week of exposure can damage your lungs, heart, and blood, and increase asthma risk in kids.
00:422. Greenhouse gases.
00:44Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat and contribute to climate change,
00:48worsening air pollution and aggravating lung cancer.
00:513. COVID-19.
00:53Climate change increases the risk of severe COVID-19 complications.
00:57Studies show higher air pollution levels raise COVID-19 death rates,
01:00and people with lung cancer are at an even greater risk.
01:034. More pandemics.
01:05Global warming is expected to bring more pandemics. Diseases spread by insects and
01:09animals will become more common as temperatures and rainfall patterns change.
01:135. Extreme weather.
01:14Severe storms can damage healthcare facilities and disrupt healthcare services,
01:18making it harder to get quality care. Power outages and transportation
01:22issues are common during extreme weather events.
01:256. Flooding.
01:26Increased heavy rains lead to flooding, which can release cancer-causing chemicals
01:29into the environment by contaminating water sources and industrial sites.
01:337. Rising temperatures.
01:35Warmer temperatures disrupt natural cycles, exposing humans to more hazardous chemicals.
01:40Melting ice releases chemicals like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
01:44DDT, into the air.
01:458. Air pollution.
01:47Burning fossil fuels in power plants, factories, and vehicles causes significant pollution.
01:52This exposure leads to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases,
01:55with global deaths from air pollution rising over the years.
01:589. Ozone 3.
01:59This pollutant comes from vehicles, wood smoke, and burning.
02:03It can travel long distances and impact air quality on a regional level.
02:0610. Radon.
02:08Radon is a radioactive, odorless gas from the decay of uranium in soil and rock.
02:12It can seep into homes through cracks and is a known lung cancer risk.
02:16Climate change poses a serious threat to lung health.
02:19By understanding these risks, we can take steps to protect ourselves and
02:22advocate for healthier environmental practices.
02:25Stay informed and proactive about climate change and its impact on health.
