It’s a well-known fact that air pollution is a major problem in China – millions of Chinese citizens die each year from pollution-related health problems – but respiratory ailments are not the only problems caused by the unrelenting smog.
A recent report revealed that air pollution in China and Germany (the countries where the large-scale research study was performed) is also responsible for the formation of lentigines – dark areas of skin also called “liver spots.”
Head researcher Jean Krutmann, MD, of the IUF–Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in Dusseldorf, said:
In addition to particulate matter, traffic-related air pollution is characterized by increased concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). While NO2 exposure is known to be associated with low lung function and lung cancer, the effect of NO2 on human skin has never been investigated. This is important because environmentally-induced lung and skin aging appear to be closely related.
