Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can rai your future risk of heart dia. But there is another factor that can cau your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露) to environmental pollution to an incread risk of heart problems, but two analys now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one r
eview of the rearch, scientists found that people expod to high levels of pollutants (污染)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than tho with lower exposure. A parate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of "moderate" (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can rai the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that the risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of the dangers becau everyone is expod to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

A. heart problems and air quality B. heart problems and exercising
C heart problems and smoking D. heart problems and fatty food
