- Abstract:
The article reports on a study by neuropathologist and toxicologist Lilian Calderon-Garcidueñas which suggested that air pollution might affect cognitive function such as memory and learning. Calderon-Garcidueñas recruited for her study healthy children from Mexico City, Mexico and nearby Polotitlán where the air is much cleaner. Her study also found that severe air pollution leads to neuroinflammation and damages the brain's white matter.
