Description: We can live for weeks without food, days without water, but only moments without air. Why is air so vital? What really happens when we breathe? This film uses diagrams, demonstrations, and microphotography to show how oxygen - the vital element in air - gets from lungs to blood to each and every tiny body cell. There it transforms the food we eat into energy. The film reveals the body’s intricate system for filtering and purifying the air we breathe - and how smoking and breathing industrial air pollutants can break that marvelous system down.
