Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is an observational study to assess the effect of air pollution exposure to the individuals and their Shawasan prakriya (respiration) on parameter breath holding time. Harmful contents of the air pollutants may affect the potency of shwasan prakriya(Respiration).Automobile fuel combustion is the primary source of a large number of health damaging air pollutants. By the assessment of Shwasan prakriya (respiration) in pollution exposed individuals the risk of incidence of respiratory disease can be identified.
Individuals directly exposing minimum 3-5 hours of exposure for 5 days per week for 5 years in the urban area will be selected for the study.
Breath holding time can prove economically feasible,measurable objective and requires no machineries or expertise and may give idea about the lung functioning improve diagnostic approach.
Breath holding time along with other test will be used as an evaluator of cardio-pulmonary reserve.
