HUMAN ORGANISM RESPONSE TO POLLUTED ATMOSPHERIC AIR

This article examines the impact of air pollution on human health and the body’s defensive mechanisms. Through literature analysis, effects on respiratory, cardiovascular, immune systems, and other organs are explored. Various air pollutants (particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, ozone, carbon monoxide) and their contributions to pathological changes in the organism are analyzed. The results and discussion section identifies mechanisms of organism response, including modifications at the level of oxidative stress, inflammatory processes, and genetic alterations. The conclusion offers strategies for pollution reduction and directions for future research.
