1.05Kviews

You may be diligent about applying your anti-wrinkle creams and staying out of the sun, but your efforts could be in vain due to the ageing affects of pollution on the skin.

And even if you don’t live in a big city, indoor pollution from wood-burning stoves,  gas cookers and  cleaning products can be an equally damaging culprit.
Now here are some of these invincible sources .

UVA/UVB radiation from sunlight.

Tobacco smoke

Blue-violet light from digital devices, flat-screen TVs and lightbulbs.

Particulate Matter (PM) is a range of air pollutants from different sources; nano-size particles from vehicle emissions are considered some of the most harmful.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) from exhaust fumes, especially diesel, cigarette smoke, wood and solid fuel burning.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from car exhausts, industrial emissions, paint and varnish.

Oxides, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) from combustion engines, eg, cars and lorries.

Low-Level Ozone (O₃) is formed by the interaction of sunlight, PAHs, VOCs and NOx.
