| Abstract |
| Air pollution occurs when chemicals or biological matter that can harm humans or other living things are introduced into the atmosphere. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of oxidative stress and histopathological alterations in lung tissues of adult male albino mice whose exposure to air pollution during the duration of their living in the atmosphere of The Egyptian Company for Aluminium Products –Alumisr Wadi Houf. The current study involved sixty healthy mice who lived in the determined sites for a month, and 5 mice from this group were taken every week throughout the month and were dissected in the physiological laboratories of the college. Animals were divided into three groups each group was divided into 4 subgroups (5 mice/subgroup) as follows: The first group: lived close to the oxidation line in the Alumisr factory (20 mice), The second group: lived close to the ovens in the Alumisr factory (20 mice) and The third group: lived in physiology lab in Helwan University as a control Site (20 mice). Based on our findings, we have concluded that elevated quantities of industrial air pollution cause oxidative stress and histological changes in lungs. |
