Study: Could exposure to air pollution be linked to increased dementia risk?

By comparing data from two studies, researchers have identified a potential link between air pollution and dementia.

The data was compiled from two large, long-running studies in the Puget Sound region. One study began in the late 1970s examining air pollution and the other began in 1994 analysing risk factors for dementia.

The study

A small increase in fine particle pollution levels was detected (PM2.5 or particle matter 2.5 micrometres or smaller) at specific addresses in the Seattle area. This was associated with a greater risk for dementia for those living in that area.
