  • The negative consequences of poor air quality accumulate in the body over time, so if people are living longer, toxins and particulate matter will be present in higher quantities, increasing associated risk factors.
  • Two studies from 2022 have found promising links between improved brain power and a reduction in nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. The first study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal discovered that lower levels of these two pollutants over the course of a decade resulted in a decreased risk of dementia.
