Air pollution is causing people in the UK to get chronic illnesses like dementia and Parkinson’s earlier, a new study has found.
Researchers from across China’s Sun Yat-Sen University, Saint Louis University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong analysed data from the UK Biobank, examining more than 900,000 hospitalisation records from 396,000 Britons aged 39 to 70 who volunteered to join the study between 2006 and 2010.
