This study looks at how pollution affects the health and life of people in Mysore. Older people are more likely to be hurt by pollution because they are not as strong as they used to be their bodies do not fight off sickness well and they often have long term health problems. The study wants to see how pollution affects the health of elderly people the things they do every day and how they feel overall. The people doing the study used a way to pick who to ask questions to and they asked 53 people who were 60 years old or more some questions. They also used information from books and reports from the government. What they found out is that most of the people they asked 66.04% said that pollution makes their physical health worse. A lot of people 56.60% said that pollution irritates their eyes, nose or throat. Most of the people in the study said that pollution makes their life worse and gets in the way of what they do every day. Even though many people did not have feelings about the air quality where they live the study says that pollution is really bad for the health and well being of elderly people. The study suggests that people should know more about pollution use things like face masks to protect themselves make parks and green spaces and make rules to control pollution so that older people can be healthy. Pollution is a problem for elderly people in Mysore. The study is, about pollution and how it affects people.
