Indoor Microplastic Inhalation Far Higher Than Previously Estimated: Study
A study in Southern France found that adults inhale roughly 68,000 microplastic particles daily indoors (47,000 for children), far exceeding previous estimates and highlighting the need for further research into the health consequences of this previously underestimated risk.

Air Pollution Strongly Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
A large-scale study published in The Lancet Planetary Health found strong links between long-term exposure to air pollution, specifically fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and black carbon, and increased dementia risk across approximately 30 million people, primarily in high-income countrie...

Air Pollution Directly Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
A new study directly links increased dementia risk to specific air pollutants: PM2.5 (17% increase per 10 µg/m³), nitrogen dioxide (3% increase per 10 µg/m³), and soot (13% increase per µg/m³), highlighting inflammation and oxidative stress as key mechanisms. The study also revealed that the dementi...

Study: Indoor Microplastic Inhalation Far Higher Than Previously Thought
A new study in PLOS One reveals that adults inhale roughly 68,000 microplastic particles daily in homes and cars in Southern France, far exceeding previous estimations. The majority are small enough to reach deep into the lungs, potentially causing inflammation, although long-term health impacts rem...

Outdoor Air Pollution is the Main Source of Poor Air Quality in Schools
A study of nearly 500 classrooms found that outdoor air pollution is the main source of indoor air pollution in schools, accounting for 80% of the total, challenging the belief that simply keeping windows closed will solve the problem.

Reduced Air Pollution Accelerates Global Warming
A University of Reading study reveals that reduced air pollution in East Asia, particularly China's 75% reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions over 15 years, has unexpectedly accelerated global warming by 0.07°C due to the removal of a cooling effect from air pollutants, necessitating more aggressive...

Wood-Burning Stoves: High Pollution Levels Pose Serious Health Risks
A University of Surrey study found that wood-burning stoves, even modern models, release high levels of toxic pollutants exceeding WHO recommendations, causing serious health risks and affecting millions globally; poor ventilation worsens the problem.
