Air pollution, especially fine particles (PM2.5) and ozone, can trigger systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. That taxes the heart, raises blood pressure, and can promote plaque buildup, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. On high-pollution days I notice more fatigue and headaches, so I ventilate indoors and opt for lighter activity.

Air pollution triggers systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, plaque instability, and autonomic imbalance, raising blood pressure and thrombotic risk.
