Combustion of fossil fuels due to traffic, local heating and/or industrial production represent a predominant source of air pollution. Air pollution has both acute and chronic effects on human health affecting different organs and systems, particularly the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems. Biological effects may be exerted either through the interaction of the chemicals with biomolecules thus hampering their function, inducing mutations, or by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause oxidative damage. In the following text, we will discuss health effects of some of the most important air pollutants.
