A new article shows that about 3 percent of the air we breathe gets converted into harmful superoxides, which ultimately harm our muscles by leading to the creation of a toxic molecule called "reactive oxygen species" or ROS, shown to be harm muscle tissue, and may lead to problems ranging from aging and frailty to Parkinson's disease and cancer.
