“…Large population groups are affected, for occupational or other reasons, by exposure to often high concentrations of pollutants of a chemical nature originating from the exhaust of motor vehicles, heating plants or emissions from industrial establishments. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] There are many chemical agents present in the air, such as noxious gases (carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone, fluoride, chlorine, aldehydes, aliphatic, aromatic, chlorinated and polycyclic hydro-carbons), particulate materials (mainly dusts of a mineral and carbonaceous type, the latter often with traces of polycyclic hydrocarbons in solid form), and also metals dispersed in the air (lead, chromium, nickel, arsenic, vanadium and others). Some of these chemical agents can cause dyslipidemia (lead, carbon monoxide, unsaturated chlorinated hydrocarbons [occasional contaminants] and organic solvents, such as aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons).…”
