00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,

00:1210 surprising ways climate change boosts lung cancer and other health issues.

00:16Climate change isn't just about the environment, it's also affecting our health.

00:20Rising air pollution from climate change is linked to more lung cancer cases due to factors

00:24like wildfires and higher temperatures. Here are how climate change affect your

00:28lung and overall health. 1. Wildfires.

00:31Wildfires release harmful particles into the air, significantly contributing to lung cancer.

00:36Just a week of exposure can damage your lungs, heart, and blood, and increase asthma risk in kids.

00:422. Greenhouse gases.

00:44Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat and contribute to climate change,

00:48worsening air pollution and aggravating lung cancer.

00:513. COVID-19.

00:53Climate change increases the risk of severe COVID-19 complications.

00:57Studies show higher air pollution levels raise COVID-19 death rates,

01:00and people with lung cancer are at an even greater risk.

01:034. More pandemics.

01:05Global warming is expected to bring more pandemics. Diseases spread by insects and

01:09animals will become more common as temperatures and rainfall patterns change.

01:135. Extreme weather.

01:14Severe storms can damage healthcare facilities and disrupt healthcare services,

01:18making it harder to get quality care. Power outages and transportation

01:22issues are common during extreme weather events.

01:256. Flooding.

01:26Increased heavy rains lead to flooding, which can release cancer-causing chemicals

01:29into the environment by contaminating water sources and industrial sites.

01:337. Rising temperatures.

01:35Warmer temperatures disrupt natural cycles, exposing humans to more hazardous chemicals.

01:40Melting ice releases chemicals like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane

01:44DDT, into the air.

01:458. Air pollution.

01:47Burning fossil fuels in power plants, factories, and vehicles causes significant pollution.

01:52This exposure leads to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases,

01:55with global deaths from air pollution rising over the years.

01:589. Ozone 3.

01:59This pollutant comes from vehicles, wood smoke, and burning.

02:03It can travel long distances and impact air quality on a regional level.

02:0610. Radon.

02:08Radon is a radioactive, odorless gas from the decay of uranium in soil and rock.

02:12It can seep into homes through cracks and is a known lung cancer risk.

02:16Climate change poses a serious threat to lung health.

02:19By understanding these risks, we can take steps to protect ourselves and

02:22advocate for healthier environmental practices.

02:25Stay informed and proactive about climate change and its impact on health.

02:29Thanks for watching, Sunbro.
