Abstract: (269 Views)
New studies show that in addition to people who live in environments that are exposed to polluted air, in pregnant women who live in these areas, inhaled pollutants enter by passing through the walls of the alveoli. They become mother's blood. Then these particles pass through the wall of the umbilical cord and enter the blood circulation of the fetus. Various studies have shown that these particles have various harmful effects on the fetus. It has been found that these particles, by changing the intrauterine conditions, cause the physiological processes of the formation of fetal tissues to be disrupted and the tissues that are formed are different from the tissues in the body of healthy people (14-16). Therefore, the risk of contracting diseases increases. So far, various studies have reported the relationship between exposure to PMs during the fetal period and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Based on these studies, a theory called metabolic disease planning has been presented (17). So far, based on this theory, many evidences have been collected for the embryonic origin of cardiovascular diseases (18).
According to the statistics provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), currently more than 91% of the world's people live in areas where the air in that area, according to WHO criteria, does not have the necessary quality for habitation (19). Therefore, we can understand that exposure to polluted air is almost inevitable. Therefore, it seems necessary to identify the trends through which air pollution causes harmful effects and increases cardiovascular diseases. Identifying these trends can be effective in reducing cardiovascular diseases. Identifying the exact mechanisms in creating these changes can provide a new window for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, in this study, we seek to identify some intermediate factors in creating toxic changes of air pollution on the formation of cardiovascular diseases.
