To most people, air pollution is a global issue. But what about the air we breathe every day - on the street, at work, and in our homes? This program studies fine particle air pollution and its public health hazards. Using detailed graphics that magnify a compound 100,000 times, the video explains the concept of fine particles and their ability to penetrate and disable cells - clearly illustrating the impact on human lung, heart, and brain tissue. Interviews with chemists and health experts who have studied air-borne toxins for years, combined with experiments measuring fine-particle exposure in urban areas, suggest a need for more monitoring and regulation to protect the public.
