Image
Air pollution has become a major global health challenge. Studies have placed deaths resulting from air pollution above that caused by malaria and HIV/AIDS put together . Although air pollutants have been linked with lung and heart diseases, there are new evidences that air pollution may be associated with degenerative brain diseases like cognitive disorder, mental illness and Alzheimer's disease.

Health Effects Of Environmental Exposure To Aluminum Pollution

Image
Aluminum has been for quite some time known to be neurotoxic, with mounting proof that its long term environmental exposure is a linked to numerous neurological diseases, including dementia, a mental imbalance, and Parkinson's disease. Nonetheless, research validation is hard to establish due to the absence of longitudinal studies, as well as push back from industries that use aluminum in their products. Regardless of the deficiency of conclusive reviews, mounting scientific proof practically rules out the uncertainty of its toxicity. A valid example is scientific investigation from Keele University in the UK which unequivocally indicates large amounts of aluminum in the brain of an individual exposed to aluminum at work, who later died from Alzheimer's disease. While aluminum exposure has been involved in Alzheimer's and various other neurological diseases, this case happens to be "the main direct connection" between Alzheimer's disease and elevated...
