Abstract

|
|
|
Air pollution is one of the biggest threat to human health in many industrializing countries. There are many kinds of substances that cause air pollution such as carbon dioxide, ozone, noxious fumes, fine dust, etc. Airborne particulate matters (PMs) are classified into coarse (2.5-10 μm), fine (< 2.5 μm), and ultrafine (< 0.1 μm), which are composed of ion components, hydrocarbons and metal compounds. Oxidative stress and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activity is an important pathophysiological mechanism of pollutant-induced damage. The human skin, the outer layer of body is constantly exposed to the environmental pollutants. Exposure of skin to air pollutants is closely related to skin aging and inflammatory responses such as wrinkles formation, hyperpigmentation, atopic dermatitis, and acne. Thus, a great deal of interest has been focused on the development of material that can provide a protective effect to skin from pollutants. The purpose of this presentation is to review the current studies about the role of pollution on skin and development of protective material against pollutant induced skin damage.
