Real-Time System Reveals Hidden Urban Air Pollution Risks

Real-time system reveals hidden urban air pollution risks

A new real-time monitoring system captures minute-by-minute changes in toxic metals resulting from traffic pollution. Research indicates that non-exhaust sources, including brake wear, significantly contribute to urban health risks.

Air pollution may be linked to brain tumours

New research suggests that exposure to air pollution increases the chances of developing meningioma, a tumour that forms in the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Researchers in Denmark followed nearly 4 million adults from 1991 onward, to see whether long-term exposure to air pollution around people’s homes was linked to a higher risk of developing central nervous system (CNS) tumours, including gliomas, meningiomas a…

Exposure to toxic air may raise risk of common brain tumour: Study

New Delhi: Air pollution may not only affect your heart and lungs but can also raise the possibility of developing meningioma -- a typically noncancerous brain tumour -- according to a study. This common type of brain tumour forms in the lining of the brain and spinal cord. The findings, published in the journal Neurology, do not prove that air pollution causes meningioma -- they only show a link between the two. The study analysed several air p…
