Today, air pollution is the greatest threat to organismal healthspan. The environment of our planet earth, the habitat of over eight billion humans and estimated twenty billion billions other animals, is contaminated with a wide variety of pollutants. Unfortunately, humans, out of billions and billions of living organisms on earth, are solely responsible for polluting the environment through emitting pollutants like particulate matter from industry, fuel engine vehicles, biomass combustion, toxic fumes from blasting, and wildfire. In the modern world, human-caused air pollutants induce massive oxidative stress and inflammation, the major contributors in initiation and progression of many diseases including pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, reproductive, neurological, mental, and accelerated biological aging. The provocative question is the following: how can we solve this human-created problem? As it is not realistic to clean the environment at once from human-caused pollution, initiatives have been undertaken to develop novel therapeutic approaches to control air-pollutant-induced oxidative stress and inflammation to protect humans from pollution-induced devastating diseases. In this article, I discuss the key findings of numerous recent preclinical studies documenting first, the role of air pollutant PM2.5 in augmentation of inflammation, oxidative stress, and associated diseases; and second, the efficacies of different natural and synthetic compounds in amelioration of PM2.5-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, pyroptosis, and associated pathologies.
