London - "This large-scale studies show conclusively that your risk of heart attack goes up, about six hours after inhaling vehicle exhaust fumes," says Prof. Pearson.
It is undeniable that the smoke coming out of the exhaust has a great potential to damage human health. And most recently, British researchers also promoted that exhaust fumes can trigger heart attacks in humans.
A report published in the British Medical Journal found no increased risk of heart attacks in people who breathe air with high pollution content. This attack could occur 6 hours after the breathing air with high pollution levels.
The researchers believe that the resulting exhaust fumes of motor vehicles does not directly cause heart attack, but, when people constantly breathe air polluted by the negative effects will occur mainly at the level of life expectancy.
Director of the British Heart Foundation, Professor Jeremy Pearson said that the medical records of nearly 80,000 heart attack patients has been studied in conjunction with air pollution data to see if there is a relationship between pollution with heart attack symptoms.
"We know that pollution can have major effects on your cardiovascular health, possibly because it can 'thicken' the blood to make it more likely to clot, puts you at high risk of heart attack," says Prof. Pearson.
"Our advice to patients remains the same, if you have been diagnosed with heart disease, try to avoid spending the time to linger outside in areas where there is a possibility of traffic pollution levels are high, such as on or near the highway," he advised.
This study seemed to reinforce the 'non-health' traffic on the Earth after some research also says that the exhaust smoke can also make brain damage and Alzheimer's.
But apart from that, both researchers agree that smoking and unhealthy diet have a negative tendency is much larger than the exhaust fumes.
However, researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Krishnan Bhaskaran not so sure that exhaust fumes can directly lead to heart attacks on a person.
