As far as air pollution-borne conditions go, asthma is one of the most harmful of the lot. Excess traffic fumes, smokes and dust particles infect a person’s airways severely, making it difficult to breathe properly. The worsening air quality in India has led to more than 10 million cases per year, especially in the eastern states. To counter that problem, e-rickshaw in Bihar and other states are proving worthy enough!
Air pollution affecting asthma sufferers
Air pollution affects asthma sufferers in mainly two ways – through the ozone gas or through air borne particles. While ozone normally triggers asthma in most cities with a lot of cars by producing smog, especially in the summer; airborne particles cause asthma by passing through a person’s nose and getting into their lungs. In both cases, very low air quality is to blame, and it is often caused due to the frightening levels of air pollution, currently.
Asthma is different for everyone. Children and young adults are at a greater risk of succumbing to asthma, due to their faster breathing rates and developing lungs. Older people diagnosed with COPD or other heart diseases find it difficult to cope with pollution even on relatively lesser pollution days.
If you feel as though your chest is tight, or there’s too much wheezing when you breathe, chances of being affected by asthma is high.
How can e-vehicles change the scenario?
Electric vehicles, especially battery operated rickshaws can bring about a change in this gloomy situation! Their engines don’t produce the usual harmful fumes that the fuel-driven vehicles do. Moreover, significant reduction of harmful tailpipe pollutants like carbon monoxide and ozone also helps in curbing pollution to an extent. They also have much lower operating and maintenance costs, thereby reducing their environmental footprints. All these advantages have brought to light their potential of helping asthma sufferers by directly reducing pollution.
Jezza Motors, exporter and supplier of government approved battery rickshaw in Bihar and Jharkhand, have designed environment-friendly e-rickshaws to ease the gradually degrading state of air quality. With very low maintenance cost and guaranteed longevity, these thoroughly designed electric vehicles have started to gain a foothold among the consumers and environmental activists alike. For about half a decade, these rickshaws have been a trusted vehicle for the advanced features, reliability and image, and they continue to do so.
