Vehicle emissions, industrial discharges, plant pollen, germs of all kinds, and believe it or not … the air that other people have exhaled in crowded conference rooms, theaters, classrooms, elevators and more. This holds true for animals and plants as well as people. The air you breathe is shared by all life around you. Your nose and mouth are the two important parts of your body that are responsible for such air to be brought into your body and then discharged through an act called breathing.
