Reduction of the health effects of

Reduction of the health effects of PD 0332991 cost will require a deeper understanding of the unprecedented complexity of exposure to smog pollution associated with individual actions. Very little is known about these effects, in particular in the Chinese urban environment, since they are strongly related to people\'s culture and habits that lead to specific daily activities and behaviours. In addition, the human body has some capacity to adapt to smog impacts, but there are thresholds. Cumulative exposures that exceed such thresholds will threaten health. It is a challenge to quantify the accumulation of exposures, which highly depends on individual daily routes and behavioural routines. It is also a challenge to identify the relevance of exposure to sickness, as well as the biochemical reactions of pollutants in the body. Many sectors of the Chinese society are acting to address the problem of smog pollution. Government departments have crafted several policies to reduce such issues as overconsumption of coal and energy and limit the number of cars on the road. Scientists are also actively proposing research projects for the coming years to investigate the sources and processes of smog development, to study the health effects of air pollution, and to improve technologies of monitoring, forecasting, warning, controlling, and managing. In many projects, indicators of fine particulate matter (<2·5 μm) concentration, meteorological conditions, number of patients, and mortalities are to be monitored and studied.
