HOW AIR POLLUTION AFFECTS HUMAN BODY, SKIN & HEALTH It’s evident that air pollution has harmful effects on environment. But did you know that it has adverse effects on your skin and overall health? Air pollution can aggravate cardiovascular illness, damage respiratory system, accelerate aging of the lungs, and cause diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and possibly cancer. When it comes to effects on skin, it can cause dryness, premature aging, skin rashes, eczema, acne and even skin cancer. While most people know the sources of air pollutants i.e. cigarette smoke, dust, smog, and car exhaust, we don’t realize how these sources contain tiny particles that can actually penetrate the skin’s barrier and cause severe damage.
