The researchers argue that the ultrafine particles that make up air pollution are absorbed by the bloodstream and travel throughout the body, potentially harming every cell in the body. Additionally, the presence of these particles in different organs could cause dangerous levels of inflammation as the body’s immune system tries to fight what it perceives to be infection.
