有毒污染物穿透人体？
Yes, toxic polluting substances penetrate into you
body through several routes
1- by Lung: Invisible gas and fine particulate matters
(as PM10, PM2,5) penetrate by inhalation, into the
lung, the nose and mouth
More particles are small, more go in depth, more
damage make
Toxic pollutant enter the organism also by other road
2- by nose circulation and nose nerves (directly to the brain)
3- by mouth (circulation and ingestion)
4- by eyes (conjunctive and tears)
Fine microscopic Particles
ENTER !!
The symptoms caused by the inhalation of dusts are cough and
asthma (difficulty breathing), fatigue, nasal secretion, lacrimation
and itching, inflammation of the nose and mouth and other)
A mask of good quality defends the nose and mouth and lung. The
nose-filters are invisible and defend nose and lung. Wrap-around
eyeglasses defend eyes

WARNING
All toxic substances inhaled damage lung. Moreover, enter into
the circulation of the blood through the nose, mouth and lung
capillaries (very small vessels).
Thus, very small particulate matter (PM 2,5 PM 0,3) and gas
and toxic chemicals (like VOC= Volatile Organic Compounds)
are carried by the blood to all organs (brain, heart, liver,
reproductive system, bowel, etc.)
