From cars in a traffic jam to coal-fired plants powering cities, people across the globe get exposed to air pollution in their daily lives. But depending on where they live, some people encounter more pollution than others. This chronic exposure can trigger inflammation in the body, including the brain.
Inflammation is associated with a variety of neurological disorders and conditions, including Parkinson’s disease and depression. Now, neuroscientists are digging into how pollutants reach the brain and trigger inflammation in the first place, and which ones pose the greatest threats to human health.
