Air pollution is dangerous for human beings. Various studies have shown that air pollution can trigger diseases like asthma and other lung related aliments. Excess inhalation of polluted air could be deadly for the heart patients as well as infants. Government as well as social work associations have been working hard to control increasing air pollution. 

A recent study has added one more harmful effect of air pollution in the long list of aliments that could be triggered due to air pollution. Researchers at the University of Calgary have found a connection between air pollution and development of appendicitis. This research was led by Dr. Gilaad Kaplan.

For this study, researchers analyzed the data collect from 5,000 people hospitalized in Calgary for appendicitis between 1999 and 2006. Then researchers compared this data with Environment Canada data showing hourly levels of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide.  

Comparison of data showed that the cases of appendicitis in the developing countries increased with the increase in air pollution due to more industrialization. 

The study once again showed that the human body is greatly affected by environment.
