The experiment was carried out by the Italian Society of Internal Medicine (SIMI) on workers of a steel plant in Milan, where PM10 and PM5 concentration is the same as in the atmosphere of a big city. The research showed that particulate matter was reduced more than 50% by the level of vitamin E in the blood. This accelerates the aging of organs and tissues, damage to DNA and makes the body more vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The Mediterranean diet, rich in foods such as fish, olive oil and vegetables – provides a natural reserve of vitamins and antioxidants which helps fight the effects of smog.
