| Endocannabinoids are produced by the body when Omega-3 is consumed. Too much Omega-6 seems to limit the body's ability to utilize Omega-3. Reducing inflammation (which is good for hyper-inflammation, which pollution can cause or worsen) is one function of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). A search for `Omega-3 endonannabinoids` on GScholar:

Fish don't produce Omega-3: they eat algae and then the PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are stored in fat. Fish and cheap fish oil may have other contaminants due to pollution in our lakes, streams, and oceans. It's important to eat a balanced diet. Eating anti-inflammatory (and anti-oxidant) foods is one way to regulate hyperinflammation. Any form of combustion (burning carbon matter) produces carbon monoxide. CO is terrible for most living things in part because the unbound oxygen binds to whatever it finds (oxidization). |
