Nanoparticles Alter Brain Functions

 

We’ve all been told to breath in deeply to relieve stress … or relax. It's not that simple though - and it depends on where you work whether you'll want to risk sucking in any air at all.

A new study … reports that because of grimy air … we could be  inhaling nanoparticles or soot particles from car exhaust. It gets worse!

Dirty air apparently alters the way human brains function.

Researcher Paul Borm … shows how air pollution … in busy cities may interfere with normal brain function … and hinder information processing.

Participants in the study showed  stress responses on  EEGs used to record electrical signals in their brains. What does it mean to mental well-being?

The study concluded there was a negative change in information processing areas of the brain cortex area.

Check out details in Particle and Fibre Toxicology and you'll likely head for the want ads.  Any job openings out in the country where you live?
