With each breath, our lungs bring healthy oxygen in to replenish our cells; while at the same time, ridding our bodies of air pollutants. In many places around the world, our current air quality is poor due to automobiles, green house gases, and other various pollutants which we encounter every day.

Air pollution causes direct harm to lung tissues. It can make your eyes water, irritate your nose and mouth, and cause you to cough or wheeze. If continued exposure to pollutants are left untreated, your minor irritation can lead to major health problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and even death.
