ABSTRACT
@#Air pollution, including particulate matter and gases has been associated with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, particularly in urban areas. More than 80% of world population lives in environment those exceed the air quality guideline established by World Health Organization. Air pollution is a very complex mixture and its potential to cause harm can depend on multiple factors including physical and chemical characteristic of pollutants. It has been hypothesized that the intake of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients may improve various respiratory and cardiovascular effects of air pollution through reductions in oxidative stress and inflammation. Several studies have suggested that essential micronutrients including B vitamins and Vitamin C, E and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids has potentials to modify oxidative and inflammatory stress. Here, we review literature related to air pollution and its health impact and how essential micronutrients can worsen its negative effect.
