Long-term exposure to polluted air may raise your risk of a brain tumor called meningioma. The more pollution—especially from traffic and ultrafine particles—the higher the risk.

Gas stoves release benzene — a cancer-causing chemical also found in cigarette smoke.

Kids face nearly 2× the cancer risk of adults. Bad airflow makes it worse.

More people in their 30s and 40s are being diagnosed with lung cancer — and a lot of them have never smoked. One possible reason? Air pollution. The tricky part is, lung cancer often doesn’t show any symptoms until it’s already pretty advanced.

AI-generated graphic showing transparent human lungs with bronchi, symbolizing microplastics exposure. The image includes bold text: “Microplastics in Your Lungs May Raise Cancer Risk” and features the “Smart Air” logo at the top.

Microplastics in the air can enter the lungs and affect how immune cells work. This may lower the body’s defense against illness, increase infection risk, and lead to long-term health problems, including lung damage or cancer.

A scientific chart compares the inflammatory response (measured by the change in eosinophil cell count) after 24 hours of exposure to straight diesel exhaust versus air from an ionizer. The Y-axis shows the change in eosinophil cell count (Δ # Cells x10⁹/L), ranging from 0.0 to 0.8. The X-axis compares two groups: "Straight Diesel Exhaust" (represented by black triangles) and "Ionizer" (represented by black circles). The data points for the ionizer group are generally higher, indicating more inflammation. A label and arrow on the graph state, Ionized air causes more inflammation." Images of a car emitting exhaust and an air ionizer device are placed under their respective categories. A close-up image of an eosinophil cell is shown at the top left. The study is cited as Wooding et al. (2019), published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, with open-source testing by Smart Air.

Ionizer air purifiers are more harmful to the body than direct exposure to diesel exhaust, study finds. smartairfilters.com/en/blog/air-...

To the left of the cat is a small, white air purifier with brown accents, featuring buttons and a vent on top. Behind the air purifier is a blue box with a large white question mark on it, along with some pens, cables, and a spray bottle. The background includes a monitor, mouse, and a generally cluttered but cozy workspace environment.

AI-generated image of a cozy living room with a bowl of scented wax melts on a coffee table emitting visible vapor or smoke. A sofa, pillow, and a window with a potted plant are in the background. Text on the image reads: “Scented Wax Melts Can Pollute Like a Diesel Engine.” The logo "SMART AIR" appears at the top.

Scented wax melts can release tons of tiny particles into the air — even without a flame. These particles can reach levels like diesel exhaust, especially in stuffy rooms. Breathing them in over time isn’t great for your lungs.
