Antioxidants provide the body with protection from harmful compounds in polluted air

Written by: Dr. Radana Grahovac

Air is one of the environmental factors with the greatest impact on human health. We breathe air constantly, and its pollution is in most cases felt immediately and cannot be ignored. Air has a decisive influence on the quality of life, so it is not surprising that there is great public interest in air quality, as well as great dissatisfaction in situations when that quality is compromised, as is the case in most cities in our country recently. Air pollution is linked to a range of health problems, from mild to severe, from acute to chronic.

Antioxidants are compounds that protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals, whether they originate in the body or come from the external environment. One part of free radicals comes from polluted air to which we have been constantly exposed recently. Free radicals are linked to the development of a large number of diseases such as malignant diseases, chronic lung diseases and cardiovascular diseases.
