Study shows traffic-related air pollution in Irvine weakens brain function
Anna Aldrich, University of California, Irvine The brains of wild type (WT) and Alzheimer’s (APP) mouse models were analyzed after exposure to purified air (Con) and ultrafine particulate matter (PM) for the presence of astrocyte cells. These were visualized by staining them green (left column), with potentially harmful and activated astrocytes appearing in red (middle

*Where’s my Clair Patterson?
There is this form of air pollution, which you probably have not heard of, called ultrafine particulates (UFPs). Though they are invisible, they seem to have some particularly nasty effects on human health. UFPs have not been well-studied, they are unregulated, and yet they are prevalent in commercial jet engine emissions. But this is not

Ultrafine particles: unique physicochemical properties relevant to health and disease
Hyouk-Soo Kwon, Min Hyung Ryu & Christopher Carlsten Experimental & Molecular Medicine volume 52, pages318–328 (2020)Cite this article 15k Accesses 98 Citations 82 Altmetric Metricsdetails Abstract Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are aerosols with an aerodynamic diameter of 0.1 µm (100 nm) or less. There is a growing concern in the public health community about the contribution of UFPs to human health. Despite their modest mass

The toxic killers in our air too small to see
Current pollution meters don’t count the very smallest pollutants – nanoparticles. Recent research suggests these tiny toxic substances could be a major cause of illness and death. By Tim Smedley 15th November 2019 A After years of headlines about air pollution, we’ve been misled on a few things about the world’s biggest environmental health problem.
