Just eating healthy and taking a proper diet isn’t enough. Your body needs movement and physical exercise too. It keeps your body fit and active. ,A new research tells us that consistent exercise can reduce the risk of death from natural causes even in areas with air pollution. ,The findings of the study were published in the 'Canadian Medical Association Journal'. Also Read| What can 4 seconds of exercise do to your body? Results may shock you,Habitual exercise reduces the risk of death regardless of exposure to air pollution, and air pollution generally increases the risk of death regardless of habitual exercise, wrote Dr Xiang Qian Lao, Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, SAR, China, with coauthors. Thus, habitual exercise should be promoted as a health improvement strategy, even for people residing in relatively polluted areas, added Dr Lao. Also Read| Weights before dates: Mantra that keeps Shanaya Kapoor’s fitness on point,For 15 years, from 2001 to 2016, they studied 384 130 people in Taiwan, looking at how exercise and exposure to fine particle matter affect the chance of dying from natural causes. Even in polluted locations, the researchers discovered that regular exercise was more helpful than inactivity, although less exposure to pollution was preferable. Their findings suggested that high level of regular exercise combined with a low level of air pollution exposure was linked to a reduced risk of death from natural causes, whereas a low level of habitual exercise combined with a high level of exposure was linked to a greater risk of death from natural causes. Also Read| Here's a 10-minute morning workout routine to start your day,Other studies in the United States, Denmark, and Hong Kong have indicated that regular exercise is helpful, even in polluted locations. Further research in locations with more severe air pollution are needed, according to the authors. They further added that their study reinforces the fact how essential air pollution mitigation is such as to decrease the hazardous effects of air pollution and maximize the beneficial effects of regular exercise. Within the same context, experts from Australia's The University of Sydney's Sydney School of Public Health suggest that physical inactivity and air pollution should be regarded syndemic factors since they impact behaviour and health consequences. Inequalities can be exacerbated by recommending safe activity in polluted regions, such as indoor exercise, and avoiding walking and bicycling on busy roadways. Also Read| Avoid these 6 mistakes in your summer workout,According to Drs. Ding and Elbarbary, risk reduction measures that do not address the fundamental causes of noncommunicable illnesses may aggravate health disparities. According to them, people should not have to choose between physical exercise and air pollution. Neither physical inactivity nor air pollution can be good for your health in any way. It's important to be active, but it shouldn't come at the expense of your health.

The Transport Department has provided a list of diesel and petrol vehicles older than 10 years and 15 years, respectively, to the traffic police to stop them from plying on roads. The traffic police have been directed to create a special task force to monitor congestion. The drive to check pollution-under-control certificates will be intensified, the minister said. Among 10 most polluted cities in the world, 3 are from India: Report,Machines of the fire brigade will sprinkle water at 13 pollution hotspots in Delhi in addition to the 372 tankers already deployed in the city for this purpose,” he said. The measures are in line with the directions of Commission for Air Quality Management late on Tuesday night, which had also ordered that only five of the 11 thermal power plants within a 300 km radius of Delhi will remain operational till November 30.

So we want to make sure that they are breathing clean air.”,At Twin Rivers Unified School District in Northern California, where diesel buses have been replaced by 40 electric buses and 34 that run on compressed natural gas, officials say clouds of dirty air have disappeared. “One of the drivers said ‘I can’t believe the change I'm seeing in my lifetime,'” said Tim Shannon, the district's director of transportation services. “He said ‘I used to have to hold a handkerchief over my face to walk through the yard because of the thick diesel soot.’”,The electric buses are 60% cheaper to operate and will pay for themselves over time, Shannon said. Some districts are planning to sell excess energy from batteries back to the grid, a move welcomed by utilities who themselves have launched programs to buy electric school buses. This summer, a school bus in a Massachusetts district delivered power back to the grid. Efforts to replace diesel school buses are driven by the fact that children are more susceptible to health impacts of air pollution. Exposure to diesel exhaust, according to the EPA, can lead to asthma and respiratory illnesses and worsen heart and lung ailments, especially in children and the elderly. A study of school buses in Washington state found using cleaner fuels or upgrading older diesel reduced children's exposure to airborne particles by as much as 50% and improved their health. Their findings suggest a nationwide switch to cleaner school buses could result in around 14 million fewer absences each year. The researchers at the universities of Washington and Michigan did not examine electric buses, which produce less local pollution than those using fossil fuels. Lead author Sara Adar, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, said older diesel buses resulted in children in the Seattle area “getting higher levels of air pollution during their commute.”,“The pollutants those kids were experiencing also did seem to be linked to worse health,” she said. “We saw kids’ lungs weren’t quite as healthy.”,Diesel school bus engines are much cleaner, since the EPA implemented standards that required them to produce 90% less particulate matter. The EPA also has awarded $55 million to replace more than 2,700 old diesel school buses since 2012 and announced in October that $17 million more would be available. With the improved standards, the diesel industry argues that switching to electric won’t significantly reduce emissions or address concerns about global warming — especially since electricity for buses still often comes from fossil fuels. They note that more than 54% of school buses are newer models with far fewer emissions. “School districts should be able to choose the bus type and technology that works for them,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum. “Some may find electric buses a good fit while others will stick with diesel and utilize low-carbon renewable fuels to cut their carbon footprint and other emissions.”,Advocates point out that nearly half of diesel buses are older ones that produce dangerous pollutants and are much more expensive to maintain. But they acknowledge the challenge is getting districts with older buses funds to transition to electric ones, which often cost three times more. Many districts are eyeing funding from several bills in Congress. The nearly $1 trillion infrastructure bill includes $5 billion for electric and hybrid school buses. Democratic U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a former preschool teacher who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education Labor \u0026 Pensions, and other advocates want $5 billion more for electric school buses in President Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion rebuilding plan. Several congressional bills would provide billions more for electric school buses. Some states, including Florida and Virginia, are buying electric buses with billions of dollars from the Volkswagen settlement of its diesel emissions cheating scandal. Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said the district will use $11.6 million from the settlement to start buying electric buses, but said a full transition would be impossible without federal help. “If we as a nation prioritize environmental protection, the reduction of greenhouse gases, the maximization of new technologies that reduce our dependency on carbon fuels, then the federal investment must incentivize these transitions with actual funding,” he said. “And that’s exactly what our country needs. That’s exactly what Miami needs.”","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_IAxzIxai2.jpg","role":2},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"US districts electric buses, air quality concerns in US, poor air quality in US districts, US districts schools electric buses","originalPublishedOn":"2021-10-22T10:10:00+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"NWx8Wlv1IKiW","slug":"what-causes-delhis-air-quality-to-worsen-in-october","title":"What causes Delhi's air quality to worsen in October?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_DqlBr0258F.jpg","coverCaption":"Pollution engulfing a city.
