Why Environmental Pollution has a Huge Impact on Vitiligo Patients?

Environmental pollution has now become one of the biggest problems the world is facing, it has certain effects on triggering many diseases. And the causes of vitiligo have a certain relationship with it. How environmental pollution can cause vitiligo?

The clinical investigation on the incidence of vitiligo population found that the incidence is higher in urban than rural areas, and the incidence of vitiligo is higher in industrial areas than in non-industrial areas.

So, what environmental pollution factors will trigger vitiligo?

(1) Industrial pollution: industrial production emissions of untreated waste gas wastewater, and the rapid growth of motor vehicle emissions, all containing many harmful substances in the human body. The number of vitiligo patients in the developed areas of heavy industry is much higher than in other areas. This is because the factory emits a lot of exhaust gas, wastewater, and waste residue, the pollution of the environment is serious, these will directly cause damage to the human body, and therefore also lead to vitiligo incidence getting higher, so we have to avoid contact with these pollutants in our lives. In addition, because of the progress of human life, more and more refrigerators are used, the emission of fluorine refrigerant so that the atmosphere of the ozone layer is constantly destroyed, the human "umbrella" is destroyed, a large number of ultraviolet radiation will be irradiated to the ground, directly endanger the health of human skin, and even can cause cancer, so we need to pay attention to stay away from UV radiation brings us harm.

(2) Agricultural pollution: many crops use too many chemicals, in the case of not well treated can also trigger vitiligo, such as the use of insecticides, fungicides, and ripening agents; meat poultry overfeed growth hormone after slaughter in the body of the residue on the human body will also cause adverse effects, is the cause of vitiligo.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of society, people's life is more and more fast-paced, and pollution problems are relatively more, although pollution is unavoidable, we should actively prevent, it to avoid inducing vitiligo, to avoid the harm brought to various aspects of the body.

As mentioned earlier, because vitiligo can be induced after exposure to certain compounds, if the industry is increasingly producing and applying such compounds, the incidence of vitiligo is bound to increase. In addition, if the management of the environment is not good, causing air and water pollution, can also cause people living in the environment more vitiligo. In order to prevent the occurrence of the disease, people should develop good habits to avoid causing a heavy load on the environment and attracting unnecessary trouble to themselves.
