I'm going to go dust the living room. Dust mites : Dust mites are a result from
house dust. exposures are vacuuming, sweeping, and dusting. Hundreds of thousands of dust
mites can live in bedding, mattresses, and carpets. Wheezing, coughing, and tightness
of breathe are results of dust mites. Humidity builds up more dust in your home.
Do you mind? Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want me to move?
Yes, please. I'm sorry about that.
Secondhand smoking is very unhealthy. It affects everyone, specially asthmatic patients. it
is a mixture of fine particles and gasses that contain more than 7,000 chemicals that
affect the lungs. Hello? Okay, i'll be there tomorrow. Thank
you very much. Have a good day. Goodbye. Air pollution is one of the major triggers
of asthma. it comes in the matter of ground level ozone, which is a component of toxic
smog. Sulfur dioxide, which causes a respiratory irritation. Particular matter, this happens
to be tiny particles in the air that enter the airways, Lastly, Nitrogen Oxide, they

People tend to breathe through their mouth during exercise, therefore en-hailing colder
and dryer air. muscle bands around air ways are sensitive to these changes in temperature
causing contracted airways, which lead to asthma attacks.
As you may have noticed from the previous video clips, asthma is a chronic lung disease
that inflates the lungs and airways. It affects approximately 25 million people, 7 million
of those being children. It is more prevalent among those of low income levels and those
living in industrialized settings. Some of the symptoms include wheezing, coughing, tightness
in the chest, and shortness of breathe. Some of the environmental triggers include air
pollution, dust mites, secondhand smoking, and exercise. Although there is no cure for
asthma, it can be controlled by medical treatment and the controlling of these environmental
triggers.
