Also, the oxidative stress increases, due to which the body’s upper airing system is not able to function properly during sleep. Researchers are saying that such pathophysiological changes contribute to the development and severity of breathing problems.

Researchers found that air pollutants such as NO2 etc. work to increase the risk of OSA further. No2 belongs to a group of air pollutants that is a gaseous element. This road is made by traffic and fossil fuel burning. Study concludes that healthcare provider also pay attention to the atmosphere regarding the risk of OSA.
