In fact, The Washington Post reported last week that several new studies show a similarly alarming impact from polluted air. O…
Air pollution can harm not only our lungs, but also our brains: recent research suggests that certain airborne pollutants may be linked to reduced brain volume, accelerated biological aging, and an increased risk of dementia. Scientists are also investigating the presence of microplastics in brain tissue, but more research is needed to determine the exact effects.
