It is widely accepted that exposure to air pollution affects lung and heart health in both the short and long term, but new evidence continues to show that the health effects of air pollution go well beyond the cardiorespiratory system. A new study published in the Lancet (an internationally respected scientific journal) has found a link between air pollution and osteoporosis.

“The study showed a link between air pollution and bone loss, with nitrous oxides having the greatest impact on bone strength,” says air filtration expert Mark Davidson, “actually the rate at which participants’ bones deteriorate doubled when regularly exposed to nitrogen.” is like the rate due to natural aging processes.”

In a new resource, Camfil air filtration experts explain the implications of the new study’s findings and what can be done to combat the risk of osteoporosis.

The resource covers:

• How does air quality affect bone density?

• Who is most at risk of osteoporosis?

• Which indoor air pollutants have the greatest impact on bone density?

• What pollutants are commonly found indoors?

• How do you use air filters to combat the health effects of indoor air pollution?
