Environmental Pollutants as Emerging Concerns for Cardiac Diseases: A Review on Their Impacts on Cardiac Health

Biomedicines, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 241 - 241

Comorbidities related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and environmental pollution have emerged as serious concerns. The exposome concept underscores the cumulative impact of factors, including climate change, air pollution, chemicals like PFAS, heavy metals, on health. Chronic exposure these pollutants contributes inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, further exacerbating global burden CVDs. Specifically, carbon monoxide (CO), ozone, particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur (SO2), pesticides, micro- nanoplastics been implicated in morbidity mortality through various mechanisms. PM2.5 leads inflammation metabolic disruptions. Ozone CO induce stress vascular dysfunction. NO2 cardiac remodeling acute events, metals exacerbate cellular damage. Pesticides microplastics pose emerging risks linked tissue Monitoring risk assessment play a crucial role identifying vulnerable populations assessing pollutant impacts, considering factors age, gender, socioeconomic status, lifestyle disorders. This review explores disease, discussing risk-assessment methods, intervention strategies, challenges clinicians face addressing pollutant-induced diseases. It calls for stronger regulatory policies, public health interventions, green urban planning.
