Well, what are we breathing right now..........?

Explanation:

You are breathing in dinitrogen and dioxygen. You exhale dinitrogen and carbon dioxide. And the atmosphere contains traces of other gases.

You drink water.

You have a wash with water, and soap. You eat carbohydrates and proteins.

You ride to work on a vehicle powered by hydrocarbons, which spits out carbon dioxide exhaust fumes, and also some nitrogen oxides.

And so your exposure to chemicals is pervasive, and unavoidable.
