Air pollution has been implicated in the exacerbation of heart disease, lung disease and stroke for a number of years. The particles from vehicle and industrial pollution increase the inflammatory response in your body, intensifying disease processes.
Toxic exposure from air pollution is responsible for 1 in every 4 deaths in the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).1 Although industrial pollution is responsible for a fair share of particulate matter, vehicle emissions also play a significant role.
Spending hours behind the wheel of your car, commuting back and forth to work, may increase your potential exposure to particulate pollution.
