Allergies are pollutants typically caused by naturally occurring airborne particles. For example, pollens in the spring and fall from grasses, weeds, trees and flowers. Perennial or chronic allergies are due to industrial pollutants, dust, dust mites, animal dander and the like. Ozone is the major contributor to the haze we see over our cities we call smog. Ozone is also created from arc welding, flour bleaching, deodorizing, emissions from copying equipment and photochemical air pollution.
Ozone is a mucous membrane irritant and causes irritation of the nose, throat, eyes and lungs.
It is particularly harmful to children with asthma and to the elderly with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. EcoWorld , All Rights Reserved EcoWorld and EcoWorld Tours are registered Trademarks of EcoWorld Inc.
