Brin Marks was told that she wouldn't live past age 17, but soon, she will be graduating from high school."Seeing her walk across that stage is going to be amazing," says her mom.

A lot of the toxins that lungs remove are related to air pollution — black carbon, fine particulate matter from car exhaust, smoke and industrial pollution that are common components of smog, and also naturally occurring dust and wildfire smoke.

Man-made problems include hydrocarbons from partly burnt fuels [such as] traffic-related air pollution and even byproducts from cooking with oil and using a natural gas stove. A lot of scented products are respiratory irritants. People who work with products that form dust clouds, droplets or aerosols are also at risk of harm. Silica is sharp and stays in the lungs forever, causing disease years after an exposure. Asbestos is also linked to lung cancer.

Anything that burns, including fireplaces, wood stoves and scented candles can contribute to indoor air pollution. Lungs do not like to breathe in any kind of oil, because it consumes the surfactant that lungs use to protect themselves and make breathing easier. Having a healthy diet can promote good health in general, and people who are in good health will have more energy to breathe and deal with infection and irritants.
