FREE REDICAL INJURY AND OXIDATIVE STRESS: A REVIEW

Prof. Dr Sharique Ahmad, Dr Amina Maqbool

Abstract :

 Free radical is referred to an atom with a single unpaired electron, within a biological system free radicals can react indiscriminately with neighboring molecule causing extensive cellular damage which is termed as oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can arise for many reasons including consumption of alcohol, medications, trauma, cold, air pollutants, toxins and radiation Air pollutants induced oxidative stress adversely affects health particularly the pulmonary system.

Ambient air contains a range of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide, ozone and particulate materials. Out of them ozone derived from photochemical smog have the ability to drive free radical reactions which gives rise to oxidative stress within the lung_ This process initiates responses that are particularly dangerous to susceptible population.
