SCIENCE IS LINKING FOSSIL FUELS AND NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE
- Abstract
Both individually and in combination, the chemicals in air pollution are causing or are implicated in a disturbingly wide range of serious health problems that extend far beyond asthma, heat-related distress and infectious diseases. Over the last ten years, peer-reviewed research findings from academic centers around the world have strongly established the connection between air pollution and neurodevelopmental problems in children and neurodegenerative problems in older adults.
