Brains of young people exposed to dirty air show signs consistent with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
It’s no secret that air pollution can damage the lungs and the heart. But new research suggests that exposure to polluted air can trigger neurodegeneration as well. In a study published in the journal Environmental Research, an international team of researchers described how they found tiny air pollution particles lodged in the brain stems of […]

California wildfires are causing unprecedented levels of air pollution
With historic wildfires still blazing through the West Coast, smoke continues to clog the air and tinge the skies with eerie reds and oranges. In some regions of California, air pollution levels are now more than twice what the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers “hazardous,” according to The Daily Mail. In particular, certain regions near Sacramento […]

Polluted bodies: Researchers find shocking levels of microplastics in CHILDREN
Scientists are still unsure about the health risks that microplastic ingestion poses to human health. But that’s starting to change thanks to recent studies. In a major breakthrough, researchers from the German Environment Agency (UBA) and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) found that 97 percent of the blood and urine samples of some 2,500 children tested, aged […]

Researchers find large quantities of plastic in hatchling sea turtles stranded on Florida’s beaches
Sea turtles around the globe are either endangered or threatened. Florida alone is home to five species of endangered sea turtles, and all of them are afforded some form of local or international protection. Despite this, sea turtles continue to face a serious and emerging threat: plastic pollution. In a recent report, scientists and rehabilitators from […]

Microplastics in the Atlantic Ocean could amount to more than 200 million tons, according to recent projections
There could be more than 200 million tons of minuscule plastic fragments floating across and beneath the entire Atlantic Ocean, and that’s just for three of the most littered plastics. In a major breakthrough, scientists from the U.K.’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) found 12–21 million tons of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene suspended in the top 200 meters (m) of the Atlantic. Lead author […]

Prolonged exposure to air pollution triggers inflammation, appearance of cancer-related genes
Prolonged exposure to air pollution can trigger inflammation and the appearance of cancer-related genes, according to a recent study published in Scientific Reports. In the report, a team of researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) looked at how toxic metals found in coarse particulate matter trigger molecular events that precede inflammation and […]

Dolphins in the English Channel have high levels of mercury in their skin AND blubber: Chemicals have been poisoning dolphins for decades, warn scientists
Bottlenose dolphins might not be an endangered species, but these charming marine mammals do face certain threats, such as commercial fishing and habitat destruction. Nonetheless, scientists find that neither of these is as serious nor as pressing as another emerging threat: chemical poisoning. In a major breakthrough, scientists from the University of Liege (ULiege) in Belgium and […]

One-third of asthma cases in Europe linked to AIR POLLUTION: “Major lifestyle changes” are required to address the issue, say researchers
A study has found that a third of childhood asthma cases in Europe may be caused by air pollution. The study, led by researchers at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), looked at the rates of asthma among 63 million children in 18 European countries. The researchers estimated that more than 190,000 children in Europe become […]
