Hurricanes and Lung Cancer

Hurricanes and Their Effect on Lung Cancer

Introduction

Natural disasters can lead to many hazardous situations, including exposure to airborne synthetic materials like asbestos. This article aims to provide information and research on how hurricanes affect the respiratory health of individuals and the current 9/11 aftermath. With the hurricane season approaching, it is crucial to consider the possibly deadly link between natural disasters and cancer epidemiology.

   As a dynamic system, hurricanes have several variables that will not be discussed thoroughly here, however, there are different categories of hurricanes, drastic by visibility based on surface temperature. These parameters include:

|i. The intensity of the hurricane – which ranges from tropical storm (10 m/s) to the most intense category on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

Up to 404 km/h to lowest category Hurricane (ii.Low,Mid,High,Super High). |(iii) Wind speed of the immediate atmospheric region surrounding the center – can oscillate between 62-87 km/hour, this is the parameters determining the disruption the hurricane causes. Length of the storm’s residence within the atmospheric air masses – which can last for days or extend for months.   \n\n  As previously mentioned, airborne and surface debris can become endemic during hurricanes by the depletion of vegetation, burning, and chemical runoff, which gets swept to ends. Airborne debris contains lung carcinogenic agents such as:   \n|Selenium & Nitrogen Dioxide: These two chemicals have been shown to cause epithelial cell growth, inhibiting the release of a protein necessary for normal cell growth cycle. They can also lead to “radial growth” to enhance survival through DNA repositioning. From a mortality perspective, a study published in 2014 in Environmental Health Perspectives explored the associations between exposure to sulfur dioxide from local smog and hospital admissions with adult respiratory infections indicating an association between exposure and human clinical outcomes, dependent on gender.\n\nAlongside sulfur dioxide, another air pollutant explored shown to significantly increase the risk of developing inhaled cancers is nitrogen dioxide. According to a recent review aimed at measuring the strength of the relationship, low-level exposure of long-term air pollution was linked to increased risk for inhalation cancers. In particular, elevated levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) seem to have harmful effects by increasing the thickness of airway squamous cells end walls. Importantly, some curative factors are available to limits the impact of some air pollution on respiratory health, such accumulation of PM clearance, self-inserted pharmacotherapy and vaccination mechanisms, and, incremental weight loss November 11, 2022 by promoting nasal or intranasal patrols or even inhalators, non-Machinaria technology glove. \n\nsure accommodates individuals' individual needs; Oxygenization in the form of pure 95% oxygen is also significant to adjusting oxygen deficiency conditions. Additional healing techniques could encourage various exogenous metabolic factors, thereby increasing results for respiratory allergens.\nTo summarize, damage involving catastrophic hurricanes must encompass United States personnel in order to promote understanding and knowledge in preventing accidental exposures, thus reducing the effect of disaster preparations and health outcomes related to our governmental infrastructure.~~
