Cigarette smoke exposure or passive smokers in the five risk can encourage children affected by allergies. Swedish researchers so disclosed. A team of researchers at the Karolina Institute, Stockholm analyze a list of questions (questionaire) by parents who filled more than 4,000 families.
Parents fill in answers, when their baby aged two months, 12 months, 2 years and 4 years. Then the researchers collected blood samples from more than 2500 children at age 4 years to examine the percentage rate immunoglobin E (IgE), which appear by the body’s immune system to respond on the allergy. High IgE levels mengindikasi sensitive allergy.
8 percent as much a mother smoking during their pregnancy and 12 percent smoked during part of the pregnancy period. However, the researchers found no evidence that smoking during pregnancy can result in children at risk to become sensitive to certain allergies. However, 20 percent of maternal smoking after the baby they were born, and 4 percent of children exposed to cigarette smoke to be passive smokers from both their parents.
Of the overall, 25 percent of children had high IgE levels, at the time they are 4 years old, with 15 percent allergic to a respiratory allergy, 16 percent allergic to food, and 7 percent allergic to both these forms of allergy. Compared with children who are not exposed to cigarette smoke, children are exposed to cigarette smoke during a baby twice the risk respiratory allergies, such as when to meet pets. And 50 percent to the food allergy. Results of this study in the publication in a scientific journal Thorax.
Indeed, smokers due to passive exposure to cigarette smoke . Also known as environmental tobacco smoke from the (ETS), which can be identified from baunya. ETS mengontaminasi air and detained in the clothing, hangings and other household tools. Many people feel that the ETS is not very comfortable, and iritateeyes and nose. More important, it can be dangerous to health. More than 4,000 types of different chemical substances identified in the ETS, and 43 chemical substances in them can cause cancer. Almost 26 percent of adults in the United States (U.S.), smoking, and 50-67 percent of children living at home have at least one adult smoker that.
Although ETS is dangerous for all people, including a baby, fetus, children, the age group most affected by risk. This is because ETS can damage the growth of the cell body organs, such as the lungs and brain.
Passive smokers to give effect to the fetus and the birth of death among infants and the fetus, changes in blood flow placenta when a woman is being pregnant. Although the long-term health effects for pregnant women are exposed to cigarette smoke is still not known.
Some research studies show that smoking during pregnancy can cause harelip, or other. Mothers breastfeeding smokers production is reduced, and the baby they have lower body weight. Maternal smoking is also associated with infant death syndrome death of a baby suddenly, the main cause of death among infants aged one month to one year.
Cigarette smoke exposure can reduce the damage and lung function in children of all ages. Also increase the frequency of asthma of children. Passive smokers can aggravate sinusitis, rhintis, asthma and several types of children. In the children aged under two years of cigarette smoke exposure increase the risk of bronchitis and pneumonia. In fact, a study in 1992 done by the Environmental Protection Agency that ETS causes respiratory infections 150000-300000 in infants and children under the age of 18 months. This disease should result in 15,000 cases treated in the hospital. Child’s parents half a pack of cigarettes smoker per day or more doubled the risk must be treated in the hospital because of respiratory disease.
ETS exposure increase the number of ear infections will be experienced by children, and increasing the duration of this disease. Breathe cigarette smoke the Eustachian tube related to the back of the nose and middle ear. This causes swelling and pressure disturbances in the middle ear, causing pain, removing the fluid, and infection. Ear infections are the main functions of hearing loss in children. If it does not get immediate medical care, surgical operations and ear duct network will be the only way out.
While the effect on the brain of children, mothers of smokers during pregnancy are the children will have behavioral problems such as a hyperactive than children who are not his mother smoker. Being low in the school both in the intellectual activities and also has as one of the consequences. Passive smokers also cause cancer 100 times larger. ETS causes 3000 cases of lung cancer that they are not smokers each year. Finally, this is a warning alarm for all people, to immediately stop giving cigarette smoke on children and make them stop from becoming passive smokers from now on.
