Can children developing diabetes Because of Pollution this reason
Sunday, March 30, 2014
In the past, diabetes was a disease that haunt an adult or elderly, but later children also exposed to trend this disease. Even the cause is not just a lifestyle or diet alone but also air pollution. How so?
According to a new study from Germany, the children are often exposed to air pollution increased risk of insulin resistance, so when the kids get older it can be confirmed to have diabetes.
Even from blood samples of 397 observations of 10-year-old boy who lives on the edge of the road is unknown if these children are at risk of insulin resistance increased by seven percent per 500 meters.
These findings are obtained after the results of the participants blood samples compared with the level of exposure to air pollution using pollution data in 2008-2009 in each neighborhood participants. Then the researchers adjusted for all the above calculation with birth weight, body mass index (BMI) and the participants exposure to second-hand smoke at home.
As reported by the BBC, Monday (05/13/2013), from there it is known the level of insulin resistance was higher in children whose exposure to air pollution is also high, especially for compounds containing pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and particulates.
"Although the level of toxicity among the pollutants with other pollutants vary, but they all can be considered as oxidizing agent potential and can directly influence the lipid and protein levels in the blood, or influence indirectly through the activation of intracellular oxidant pathways," explained one researcher Dr. Joachim Heinrich of the German Research Centre for Environmental Health, Neuherberg. Heinrich held a study with his colleague, Elisabeth Thiering.
"For that oxidative stress caused by exposure to air pollution is said to play an important role in encouraging the development of insulin resistance," he added.
Responding to a study published in the journal Diabetologia, Frank Kelly, professor of environmental health sciences from Kings College London, said that children are very susceptible to what this study found.
"They have a ratio of lung volume to a larger body, the respiratory epithelium more easily absorb pollutants, as well as lung defense mechanism against pollution gases and particulate pollution are not yet fully developed. So even inhale the same amount of pollutant concentrations, child children may absorb pollutants with doses two to four times more than adults, "said Dr. Kelly.
"For the new study is interesting if it can be demonstrated that the particulate and nitrogen dioxide is closely related to an increased risk of insulin resistance in children. Moreover, these findings are highly relevant to the kids in a big city like London that regularly experience the advantages of nitrogen dioxide pollution , "he concluded.

- Vehicle heating in the room was a big wrong decision, because the smoke could get into the house and creates pollution.
- Cigarette smoke and the residue was including toxins and pollution sources. Should create a rule that nobody is allowed smoking in the house.
