Increasing Air Pollution Levels
Air pollution has increased dramatically across both urban and rural areas around the world. Growing industrial emissions, rising vehicle usage, construction activities and pollution from burning of fossil fuels have overburdened the atmospheric environment with unhealthy pollutants like particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and Sulphur oxides. These airborne pollutants can directly enter inside the body through breath and bloodstream, and also lodge inside middle ear, thus, leading to adverse effects on ear health. Several studies show a strong correlation between higher air pollution exposure and increased risk of middle ear infection like otitis media in both children and adults. Polluted air weakens immune defenses of mucous membranes in middle ear, making it vulnerable to microbial invasion and inflammation. Prolonged exposure to traffic or industrial air pollution has been linked to premature hearing loss and impairment. The tiny pollutant particles generate oxidative stress inside inner ear tissues causing damage to hair cells over time. With rapid urbanization and growing use of fossil fuels in developing economies, air pollution crisis is further worsening unabatedly which will continue to threaten ear health globally. Rising awareness about ill-effects of toxic air prompt more people to take corrective measures like wearing pollution masks, following better indoor ventilation, using ear drops and consulting ENT experts. This can drive the growth of global ear health market.
