In 1900 medical treatments were still very precarious and primitive, making illnesses much worse than they are today. At that time, death from respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, colds and flu were the main causes observed. In addition to primitive medical treatments, these diseases had a very strong influence on the lives of patients, due to the deficiency in hygiene habits both in hospitals and in the contact between citizens.

Over time these diseases became lesser threats, however, other diseases arose due to the lifestyle of the modern population. In 2006, heart disease was the main cause of death. These diseases are influenced by poor diet and physical inactivity developed by modern and globalized society.

What environmental conditions might cause damage to the alveolar sacs?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Air pollution

Explanation:

Air pollution and dust storms are the main environmental conditions that lead to the damage of the alveolar sacs. Air pollution results in the shortness of breath in an individual, which leads to the weakening and rupturing of the inner walls of the alveolar sacs with time. Diffusion of oxygen becomes difficult as a result of large air spaces (decrease in surface area of the lungs) that are created in the alvoelar sacs by the effect of air pollution. This results in the drop in the quantity of oxygen supplied to the blood stream.
