Airborne pathogens, dust, oil fumes, dust, fumes, pesticides, pollen, and toxic gases, and other sub-visible pollutant particles, besides causing pollution and odors, contribute to these harmful air pollutants. Substances promote the production of free radicals, which pose a serious threat to human health.

A free radical is a group of atoms with unpaired electrons. When atoms form molecules, electrons must be paired during chemical bonding, but free radicals can take one electron from another substance. , to form a stable compound. This phenomenon is chemically called oxidation. Oxygen free radicals are common in biological systems, such as superoxide anion free radicals, hydroxyl group free radicals, fatty acid free radicals, nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide free radicals, and the like.

Reactive oxygen free radicals in living organisms have specific functions such as immunity and signal conduction. developed.
