Actually, global warming is an exemplary impact of climate changes. Climate change not only increases the temperature, but it also brings several changes such as glacier retreat, destruction of ozone layer and abnormal weather etc. Several predictions and possibilities are there that climate change and greenhouse effect may affect your skin and cause skin disorders.
Sebaceous Glands and Acne:
The ideal temperature for human body is around 98.2 degrees F. A little fluctuation in the scale of temperature may occur on a temporary basis during exercise and any other body activities.
Human body works efficiently and effectively at 98.2 degrees F. Sebaceous glands and sweat glands are heat sensitive and produce their secretions very rapidly. Thus, continuous rise in temperature results in over activity of sebaceous glands and excessive production of sebum. Excessive production of sebum mixes with dead skin cells and clogs the hair follicles. Thus, the acne breakouts occur.
Average temperature has been markedly rising since 1940. It is considerably affecting hundreds of biological and ecological systems.
Agricultural Changes - Making Prone to Acne:
- Some Agricultural Changes that Are Making Human Skin Prone to Acne:
- Climate change has made situation difficult for crops and farmers. Farmers start using alternative methods of farming.
They also start using pesticides and other synthetic chemicals to increase productivity levels of the yield.
- Synthetic chemicals and other concentrated pesticides on crops and soil result in loss of nutritious food substances.
- Less quantity and improper quality of nutritious substances, vitamins and minerals are the prominent causes of overactive sebaceous glands, which cause acne in a rapid and large manner.
Ozone Depletion:
- Basically, Ultra violet rays are classified into three categories depending on their wave lengths.
- Ultra violet B and C are more harmful for biological systems.
- Ultra violet B directly affects the skin and mainly causes sunburn.
- Ozone layer filters approximately 98% of harmful ultra violet rays and greatly helps biological systems to remain at safer side.
- Increasing climate change causes ozone layer depletion, which simply allows all harmful ultra violet rays directly on to the living beings of the earth. Thus, it mainly causes severe and intense skin disorders including acne, rashes and eczema.
Human skin is most sensitive and significantly affected organ by global warming or climate change. As a precautionary step, every human being must contribute in environmental protection.
