The impact of the climate crisis on brain health

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment / Debate › Other › peer-review

Abstract

Long-term exposure to air pollution is harmful to human health, causing damage to respiratory and cardiovascular systems. A new study provides evidence that even short-term, relatively low-level air pollution can be detrimental for cognitive function, and suggests the possibility that a commonly used drug might help reduce the harmful effects.
