Presently, the condition of your environment does not allow for you to go one day without encountering pollution. When you are at work you may not be so sure of the cleanliness of the water you drink or make coffee with or the food you eat. When your job is to deal with people, you can rarely get away from air pollution, be it from smokers, different sprays or from the exhaust of vehicles.
