Air pollution casts magnetic waste
in human brain, ups risk of Alzheimer's
New Delhi: The tiny,
hazardous nanoparticles of air pollution emitted by cars and industries
travel directly to the brains and triggers the risk of Alzheimer's,
according to a latest study.
Scientists at
Lancaster, Oxford and Manchester Universities discovered 'abundant' quantities
of toxic air pollution particles in human brains.
The study, published in
the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, detected the brain
of 37 persons aged from three to 85 who have either lived in Manchester in UK
or Mexico city.
They found
presence of minute magnetic particles in the brain tissues significantly
increases the risk of various neurodegenerative diseases, including
Alzheimer's.
"Our
results indicate that magnetite nanoparticles in the atmosphere can enter the
human brain, where they might pose a risk to human health, including conditions
such as Alzheimer’s disease,” Barbara Maher, lead author of the paper from the
Lancaster University in Lancashire, U.K., said in a statement.
