Note on Environmental pollution
If you live in any major urban area today, you're breathing
polluted air. Every year 200 million tonnes of potentially
dangerous pollutants are released into the atmosphere. From
industrial processes, incinerators, automobiles, fossil-fuel
burning operations, electric power plants, refineries etc. We
are being inundated with dust, smoke, fumes, gasses, and tiny
particles of solid matter such as tars and poisonous heavy
metals. With each breath you subject your lungs and body to a
wide range of pollutants, and no part of you is immune. How does
your body hold up against this kind of assault? vitamins are the
first line of defence, especially the antioxidants - vitamins A,
C, E and selenium.
