2. Prof. Dr. M. Wali: According to Prof. Dr. M. Wali, Senior Consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, air pollution is a significant contributor to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which remain the leading cause of death globally. While advancements in managing traditional risk factors like smoking, hypertension, and diabetes have reduced CVD prevalence in high-income countries, air pollution continues to undermine these efforts. Emerging evidence strongly links short- and long-term exposure to pollutants, especially particulate matter (PM 2.5), with increased morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events.

He highlighted that fine particulate matter from sources such as diesel engines, tobacco smoke, and industrial emissions penetrates deep into the lungs, damaging blood vessels and the heart. This damage can lead to atherosclerosis, plaque buildup, and an elevated risk of heart attacks. Additionally, pollutants contribute to blood vessel narrowing, increased blood pressure, and strain on the heart. Air pollution can even disrupt the heart's electrical system, causing arrhythmias, and alter its structure, resembling early-stage heart failure.

Indoor and outdoor pollution, including emissions from vehicles, chimneys, and construction sites, exacerbates cardiovascular risks, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and children. Harmful gases like SO₂, NO₂, and CO further amplify these dangers. Addressing air pollution through improved air quality standards and reduced exposure is vital to mitigating its profound public health impact. P M 1 particle has been recently identified which is smallest and goes to the blood directly.
