ABSTRACT
Awareness of COVID-19 infection, as a public crisis, makes an emergency condition for survivors. Regarding the importance of early rehabilitation, we should pay particular attention to the potential risk of real-life toxicants in COVID-19 survivors. The adverse effects underlying COVID-19 infection lead to persistent sequelae in survivors. In addition, complete rehabilitation is challenging in seriously-ill patients due to cytokine storm severity, inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell death contributing to multi-organ damage. Different foods, environmental/occupational pollutants, and unhealthy lifestyles are real-life examples of toxicants that can pose redox imbalance and oxidative damage to the biological system. The key concept is that survived patients with persistent tissue damage, low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis are susceptible to real-life toxic stressors, which have the potential for oxidative stress. Moreover, fibrosis are susceptible to toxic stressors, which can induce harmful effects by promoting oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory components. This paper attempted to elucidate a vital toxicological concept in which the existing sequelae of COVID-19 survivors increase the potential risk of real-life toxicants and to propose a practical strategic approach to reduce toxicant exposure.
