• Air pollution, it lurks all around us affecting all young and old. It attacks our lungs, heart and brain.

• It contains poisonous particles which are as small as a molecule which with every breath enters our lungs and these small particles goes even deeper passing all the defenses of our body sowing the seeds of cancer.

• They inflame and constrict our blood vessels which results in increase in blood pressure until one causing a stroke.

• With each new case of heart attack stroke, lung disease or cancer air pollution each day adds another life to its hit list.
