Vital capacity

This presentation contains information about lungs's vital capacity , its importance and about its methodology. In this all information is completely based on proper survey analysis.

1. To compare vital capacity of children in green surroundings and polluted area and create awareness about lungs diseases

4. We wanted to show an objective method to measure effect of green surrounding and pollution on vital capacity of young children especially of age 15-16 years . After studying medical reports of lung’s health we found a method of calculating percentage of vital capacity of surrounding on lung’s health. INTRODUCTION

5. Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person expel from the lungs after a person’s maximum inhalation. By this project we wanted to prove experimentally that green surrounding increase vital capacity and thereby improve human health.

6. To compare vital capacity of students living in green surrounding and in polluted areas To aware them that planting trees around their house will decrease the effect of pollution To aware people that smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, asthma and tuberculosis to aware about cause, symptom and treatment o f asthma objectives

8. We know that lungs are blood purifier and oxygenated blood can only provide energy and good health. Young children are the future of this nation, so we wanted to start from our school itself . What is the vital capacity of students coming from different locality . If it is not healthy capacity what could be done to increase lung’s health. Need statement

9. methodology For our findings ,we selected 50 students living near area of heavy traffic or industry and 50 students living near spacious house with green surrounding. We measured vital capacity of these students by blowing the balloon in one breath. The formula for % vital capacity = (actual vital capacity AVC / expected vital capacity EVC)X100 EVC=BSAX2500 (FOR MALE) AVC is calculated by measuring diameter of balloon and corresponding value taken from the graph standardized by spirometry .

10. We observe that 6% subjects living in green area are found to suffer from asthma and 10% of subjects living in polluted area are found to suffer from asthma and allergy. When we talked with the patients of asthma ,we found that in morning and evening when the humidity is high severity of asthma increases and when the students start breathing exercises, vital capacity of students became more.

13. we created awareness in the people around our school and in slum areas. The parents who had come at PTM were also awared not to smoke and that it is very injurious to health. There is 2 times increase in the infection of asthma due to smoke. Smoking causes severe flare up of asthma .80 – 90% lung cases are due to smoking.1.5 million 11-17 years old starts smoking each year .we created models and charts for lung diseases like asthma , tuberculosis and lung cancer. awareness

14. Results of experimentation Healthy VC in polluted areas 6% unhealthy VC in polluted areas 94% Unhealthy VC in green areas healthy VC in green areas 20% 80%

15. conclusion It is very important to note that the vital capacity of young children is not as it is desirable i.e. 80 % or more.

16. Solution of the problem The result of our study was very worrying. So we met ­Dr. Gurkamal singh , physiotherapist in golden hospital to suggest some breathing exercises for chest expansion . we prepared awareness model for the awakening parents and explained them following tips that are Live in well ventilated house. Chest expansion and breathing exercises and yoga. Planting trees around to keep surroundings clean. Nine times deep breathing in a day is must. In all the classes from 6 th we taught them to keep a watch on vital capacity to improve it.

17. Breathing exercises performed by children

18. asthma Coughing worse at morning and evening BRONCHODILATORS Wheezing- whistling while breathing STEROIDS Chest tightness ANTIBIOTICS Shortness of breath ANXITY CONTROL Confirmed by test ASSISTED VENTILATION IMMUNE MODIFICATION ALLERGIC MODIFICATION Symptoms treatment FIRST AID FOR ASTHMA SMOKING FLARE UP ASTHMA CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHER RISK MAKE THE PERSON SIT UPRIGHT WAIT FOR 4 MINUTES CALL AMBULANCE GIVE 4 PUFFS OF BLUE OR GREY RELIEVER

19. introduction WE SHALL DESIGN ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR TO ABSORB PATICULATES AND ALSO CHECK POLLUTION LEVEL . AFTER GROWING PLANTS AROUND THE HOUSE. MORE PLANTS WILL B CHECKED WHICH ABSORB PATICULATES AND CLEAN AIR FUTURE PLAN

20. APPLICATION OF ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR POLLUTED AIR GETS FILTERED OUT

21. Acknowledgement Our team is thankful to Mrs. Sudha babbar principal, Jainendra public school for her inspiration to do socially useful projects. We are also thankful to Dr. gurukamal Singh, physiotherapist , golden hospital for giving us valuable information about breathing exercises. We also thank patients of asthma who cooperated with us. We are also thankful to Mrs. Saroj Sharma for her guidance in this project.
