-
Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is associated with lower cognition and reduced white matter volume in older adults, specifically for particulate matter <2.5-μm diameter (PM 2.5 ).
-
Millions of children and young adults are exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone, associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk.
-
Pesticides are a family of compounds which have brought many benefits to mankind in the agricultural, industrial, and health areas, but their toxicities in both humans and animals have always been a concern.
-
The central nervous system is emerging as an important target for adverse health effects of air pollution, where it may contribute to neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.
-
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup®, is the most popular herbicide used worldwide.
-
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) above US EPA standards is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, while Mn toxicity induces parkinsonism.
-
Millions of urban children are chronically exposed to high concentrations of air pollutants, i.e., fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone, associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.
-
Air pollution (indoors and outdoors) is a major issue in public health as epidemiological studies have highlighted its numerous detrimental health consequences (notably, respiratory and cardiovascular pathological conditions).
-
Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are used extensively throughout the world.
-

The depletion of zinc may enhance DNA damage by impairing DNA repair mechanisms.
-
Exposure to environmental toxins such as pesticides is implicated in increasing Alzheimer's disease risk.
-
Millions of children are exposed to concentrations of air pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5), above safety standards.
-
Children's urban air pollution exposures result in systemic and brain inflammation and the early hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
-
The chronic health effects associated with sustained exposures to high concentrations of air pollutants are an important issue for millions of megacity residents and millions more living in smaller urban and rural areas.
-
Free radicals and other oxidants have gained importance in the field of biology due to their central role in various physiological conditions as well as their implication in a diverse range of diseases.
-
Vaccination has made an enormous contribution to global health.
-
The etiology of most neurodegenerative disorders is multifactorial and consists of an interaction between environmental factors and genetic predisposition.
-
In 2010, the 10 leading causes of death were, in rank order: Diseases of heart; Malignant neoplasms; Chronic lower respiratory diseases; Cerebrovascular diseases; Accidents (unintentional injuries); Alzheimer's disease; Diabetes mellitus; Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis; Influenza and pneumonia; and Intentional self-harm (suicide).
-
There has been a steep increase in the prevalence of dementia in recent decades, which has roughly followed an increase in pesticide use some decades earlier, a time when it is probable that current dementia patients could have been exposed to pesticides.
-
Along with the wide use of pesticides in the world, the concerns over their health impacts are rapidly growing.
-
Neuroactive insecticides are the principal means of protecting crops, people, livestock, and pets from pest insect attack and disease transmission.
-
It has recently been reported that iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)-NPs, 30 nm) have the ability to translocate directly from the olfactory nerve to the brain.
-

The class of chemicals known as the "organophosphates" (OPs) comprises many of the most common agricultural and commercial pesticides that are used worldwide as well as the highly toxic chemical warfare agents.
-
Air pollution exposures have been linked to neuroinflammation and neuropathology.
-
Detailed studies in the past two decades have shown that redox active metals like iron (Fe), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co) and other metals undergo redox cycling reactions and possess the ability to produce reactive radicals such as superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide in biological systems.
