Study reveals an association between traffic-related air pollution and an increased risk of age-related Alzheimer's disease.
Children exposed to higher levels of air pollution from traffic have increased levels of myo-inositol in the brain. The increase in myo-inositol was associated with higher risk of generalized anxiety in children.
Previous research has linked traffic pollution to brain development issues in children. A new paper looks at steps being taken to improve air quality and reduce the impact of air pollution on neurodevelopment.
