People in the U.K. have volunteered to inhale diesel exhaust, cleaning products and cooking fumes to help unravel the effects of air pollution on the brain.
The study is being conducted by researchers affiliated with the University of Manchester and the University of Birmingham, as well as by health care providers from Manchester University National Health Service (NHS) Trust. The research team specifically recruited volunteers who were more than 50 years old and had a family history of Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia.
