Triangle of death - NSDs, Climate Change and Air pollution are enemy for the human empire on Earth

The Human empire not only is at risk, but the Triangle of Death can be the end of the human species.

Our accomplishments, as human species, have been excellent throughout all of history, of course, except created disasters such as wars, pillage, and bloodshed. From the very first days, we have been many battles with other species to survive and thrive, have crossed the winding road for arriving at the peak, and learned many lessons. We can say that human is sitting on the summit, above than all species.

Today, we believe that the planet is the legacy of our fathers, and of course, our mothers, and the rest of the creatures supply our interests, and otherwise will not tolerate them on the planet. In a simple phrase, the earth is only for the human emperor. But the empire has faced a tough challenge. The tough challenge that should be called the triangle of death, and can put both an end our emperor and changing the planet. The triangle of death is not invisible. Each of us, every day, is involved with it. Even I should say we suffered fatal blows from it and have lost loved ones, but still, have not awakened from slumber.

The triangle of death not only showing no pity for old and children but presents deadly dangers for our posterity. Human life has ruthlessly beaten by each of this triangle's edges. The bad news is that each edge reinforces one another, and the message of this alliance nothing except the end of human life on earth.

First edge, when death does surprise us

We often try to imagine how will human extinct on the planet. The most likely options are on our lists such as the release of a deadly virus, a coup of robots and artificial intelligence, falling meteorites or even aliens' cowardly attack to earth, but scientists have terrified of another factor. They talk of great enemy called non-communicable diseases.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that are an edge of the triangle of death that has caused 70 per cent of global deaths. A third of this crowd, aged between 30 and 69. It's about half of the world's people that are working and probably are one of the parents in a family, including myself. Now, we're in the large and influential population, that need a counselling session. For those who live in low- and middle-income countries, this problem should be a serious concern, because of over 80 happens of these premature deaths for them.

The main types of NCDs are diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. Yes, NCDs have familiar names, but often do surprise us. Of course, we can't ask why me? How can while physical inactivity, unhealthy diets, the harmful use of alcohol and use tobacco are our habit. In fact, are the integral parts of our lifestyle.

You can consider four factors for catching to NCDs, factors such as physiological, genetic, behaviours, and environmental. The first two factors are not very in our control, but the next factors can increase the chance of our survival. However, millions of us lose our lives due to the lack of attention to the consequences of modifiable behaviour. Actually, we must be more love ourselves.

Some of the habits and conditions are manageable, but we have a more difficult way ahead to confront some habits. We can hardly change our working style. So need to urban dynamics and social movements for change. Also, we need motives to make coordinated and effective social behaviour. In fact, we must recognize how much danger is near. The best way to deal with the surprise by NCDs is screening. The increase of the four factors is meant to trouble started for you. Therefore, remember these four factors: overweight, obesity, raised blood pressure, high blood glucose levels, high levels of fat in the blood.

With understanding risk, you realize that how we had been negligent about NCDs. All sectors of society must collaborate towards one goal, such as finance, education, agriculture, transport, and health. This perspective is very important because everything must be starting from ourselves and continue with us. We need it to survive and meet our grandchildren. At least In the future, we will be spending a smaller share of our taxes for public health costs, because NCDs are direct roads toward poverty, and causes low productivity.

Most people who are in the range age of risk, have a family with one or two adolescents. This is a valid reason for worries in the near future because the World Health Organization has declared, that 1.5 billion adults were overweight in 2008, and only two years later over 40 million children, under 5 years old, were overweight.

The screening and test can be a winning card in gambling with our life's future. This should be the remit, that with reducing the potential risks and tackle the main factors of NCDs can prevent of 75 per cent of cardiovascular diseases, strokes, type 2 diabetes and almost half of the cancers.

Second edge, face to face with the angry nature

Climate changes are a risk set that forms the second edge of the triangle of death. Climate change tells us that earth's future can be very different from Its past. They can make the season's change, the desert's spread, extreme weather events, sinking coastal cities, and even rising air pollution. Each one of these is a blow on the human empire, that's cause to be the more vulnerable human.

Climate change gives a great lesson to the human. There is a wonderful relationship between human, oceans, deserts, forests, and even the sun. In this complex and sensitive system, each member has high power, and of course, we are not the strongest member of this system. So, other members can easily be eliminated us of this system, because we will give new orders to this system only based on our interests. It is a proven fact that we are an influential factor in the formation of new patterns in the weather. Of course, we know the most famous of these destructive patterns called global warming. Global warming is a part of climate change, but it significantly increased in the last years. Industrial activity and plunder the environment by humans introduce as aggravating factor climate change. These changes intensified when human started to emissions greenhouse gas. We sent the dangerous gases into the air that we breathe, gases famous to primary pollutants such as carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, methane, etc. What do you think it was the answer of other members in the system of climate change, they said, "oh yes, mankind can add secondary pollutants to list." Of course, plus a package of new patterns of weather.

Secondary pollutants are Reaction products photochemical of primary pollutants with molecules in the atmosphere. They have a long list, but in among them shines the name Ozone. Ozone is known as the protective gas of life in the stratosphere but is a gas toxic to human health, when emits in the troposphere (the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere). This example shows, that simple change in the climate-system can be put health all species in danger. But problems continue, and the chemical reactions produce more ozone in sunlight (particularly in summer). Environments contaminated with ozone will create many complications for every living creature and are an important factor in the escalation of deaths.

There are still people who not considered the risk of climate change, but scientists do not doubt in this case. They repeatedly stated climate change is a severe threat to human survival. According to researchers, climate change increases death risk In all population groups, but most damages from the changes will be on children in developing countries. The primary problem is how to use energy resources and food sources. This problem is all us, and we have to pay special attention to how to use resources, especially when we set policies and strategies, both in government and home. We need to new consumption patterns before the human's expiry date. The loss of life opportunities is the direct effects of natural disasters due to climate change, and it not be limited to a region. They spread like a wave to the rest of the world and raises new problems.

Climate Change Induced Displacement (CCID) is a significant challenge for the UN and the European Union in the next few years. These problems affect nutrition and employment, besides, make tremendous psychological problems. Forests and fields destroy, and water gets polluted and scarce. Humans will be more vulnerable to the events such as successive wars, the expansion of famine, reduced of the population, the prevalence of diseases such as Cholera and Malaya. Very soon, not only the news of catastrophe spreads to the rest of the world, but rather engages the whole world. An example of these consequences is to grow rural-to-urban migration. But in large modern cities too not much better-living conditions. Larger town against natural disasters will have more casualties. Factors such as congestion and heat-absorbing asphalt cause cities usually hotter than the surrounding countryside, and we know with the experience of the summer in the last few years how can heat stress lead to death. Urban heat island effect cause many people will go to the hospital and even sometimes electricity grids will go down, so we will need to solve new problems and of course, without mistakes of the past.

Effects of Increased financial risk due to climate change are issues important that challenge application central banks and borrowers. These sudden changes easily destroy businesses. So, our policies and strategies in the economy that were high-cost of life on the planet, now are very unpredictable and high-risk. Seems, there is just a rescue way, and it is the transition to low-carbon economies on a global scale. While Injuries of the second edge of the triangle of death are very spreading, scientists declared, that storms and floods are affecting people with noncommunicable diseases and it could cause exacerbations or even death. Third edge, destruction the destruction of the human cradle in the galaxy.

Air pollution is the third edge of the triangle of death

The third side has Intercommunication with other edges, not only takes the power of them, but also empowers them. Particles Increase in the air is meant to reduce air quality or air pollution. They challenge humankind in every aspect, and in one day kill 18,000 in all over the world. Researchers have estimated the annual mortality due to air pollution is more than the number of deaths of tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and road injuries.

Assuredly, air pollution (and climate change) can be coming from factors natural. But here, too, we are the prime suspect, because our energy systems and consumption that designed to make economic and social advancement, send million tons of the deadly pollutant into our atmosphere. Air pollution turned into a severe issue for scientists. They announced, require new methods to estimate the consequent health damages of air pollution because the mortality significantly is over than statistics announced. Air pollution too affects around the world. Although UN reports show that there is a higher risk in cities of low- and middle- income countries, the consequences of air pollution can provide a long list of reasons for migration.

Human against particles is very vulnerable. Particles less than 10 micrometres pass unimpeded through the body's respiratory defences, and can easily penetrate the deepest part of the lungs. In the result of the research in 3,000 cities around the world, showed that only about one in 10 people breathing in clean air. But, the big problem is emission particles with a diameter of fewer than 2.5 micrometres. These particles made of carcinogenic organic compounds and heavy metals, and have a size about a thirtieth of your hair if you consider 70 microns for any hair. But announce the destructive effects of them can challenge the position of politicians. You should remember that the most power in dealing with air pollution must spend on reducing particles with a diameter less of 2·5 micrometres to reduce threat level breathing polluted air.

According to estimates, these particles were the fifth rank at list risk factors for mortality in 2015, and have a close relationship with non-communicable diseases. We can clearly see the effect of the three edges in the triangle of death, impacts that strengthen the triangle of death during the time and kills more people. All this is due to the one thing. Our lifestyle that has many benefits is presently the main force of our enemy, a big challenge in the form of a deadly triangle that becomes stronger every day. It is clear that we selected a hard and bloody way to survive and flourish. The only way ahead is changing our lifestyle. This is not just a task in the task list of governments or international organizations, but It is one of our primary duties because we yet enjoy covering our grandchildren and still hope tomorrow. It may appear, changes in personal life are useless to solve this issue, but when widespread this effort scales up we will soon see its effects, and then the triangle of death will not be our nightmare and our children.
