Nine out of 10 people breathe air that does not meet World Health Organization pollution
limits. Air pollutants include gasses and particulate matter and collectively are responsible …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with a range of health impacts,
including neurological abnormalities that affect neurodevelopment, neuroplasticity, and …

Background The link between exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality from
cardiorespiratory diseases is well established, while evidence on neurodegenerative …

Background Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) mass has been
associated with adverse health effects. However, the health effects of PM 2.5 components …

Background Parkinson's disease (PD) remains a common disabling progressive
neurodegenerative disorder. We aimed to report the prevalence, death and disability …

Recent extensive evidence suggests that ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5, with an
aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm) may be neurotoxic to the brain and cause central nervous …

Exposure to PM 2.5 is associated with an increased incidence of CNS diseases in humans,
as confirmed by numerous epidemiological studies. Animal models have demonstrated that …

Background The deposition of α‐synuclein (α‐Syn) in the brain is the pathological hallmark
of Parkinson's disease (PD). Epidemiological data indicate that exposure to fine particulate …

Background There is mixed evidence for an association between particulate matter air
pollution and Parkinson's disease despite biological plausibility. Objectives We studied the …

Air pollutants are being increasingly linked to extrapulmonary multi-organ effects.
Specifically, recent studies associate air pollutants with brain disorders including psychiatric …
