Abstract

Ninety-nine per cent of the world’s population breathes polluted air and thirty-eight per cent (and growing) of the human population is obese. Both air pollution (AP) and obesity (OBS) are known to cause many of the same diseases in humans via similar oxidative stress (OS) driven mechanisms. Air pollution is a known cause of obesity, which serves to compound disease impact. The commonly produced disease impacts of air pollution and obesity and their mechanisms of action are addressed. Also discussed are early disease onset and the mutagenic and evolutionary impacts of both AP and OBS.
