Pollution is affecting people’s mind
Not only the country, air pollution is increasing continuously all over the world. In many places, it has reached a very dangerous situation. This is causing trouble for people of almost all ages. Dr. Shiaobo Mao, a neurologist at the University of Johns Hopkins, USA, warned that the pollution is also affecting your mind. Due to pollution, the risk of body dementia is increasing. In this disease, people’s memory becomes weak. Scientists tell that the air is important for the health of the brain, which can prevent this disease.
A research has shown that air pollution, especially M2.5 particles, can increase the risk of increasing levy body dementia. This pollution promotes protein deposition in the brain, causing damage to nerve cells. This is why people start forgetting their old memories.
Pollution is targeting brain
Research has shown that M2.5 particles of pollution are very small. These subtle particles are so small that they can cross the body’s security system and enter the blood stream and even reach the brain. It is said in the study that the kipolution is not only limited to your nose but it can also reach your neurons. These particles destroy nerve cells when spreading in the brain.
Proteins present in the brain turn into bunches due to exposure to particles present in the air, which are symptoms of levy body dementia, which is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. The effect of this disease is more on those who live in cities. The smoke emanating from the vehicles here and the particles present in it cause more damage to them.
How does it affect the brain?
Levy body is a bunch of abnormal protein accumulated in the brain, which is made from a protein called alpha-consuce. This protein is essential for healthy brain functioning, but it can make different types of harmful levy bodies by twisting in many ways. They can kill nerve cells and cause disastrous diseases by spreading in the brain.
To see if the air pollution could activate levy bodies, the team kept the mice in contact with PM2.5 pollution every other day for 10 months, some rats were normal, but some other mice were revised genetically to prevent alpha-suklin. The results were shocking. In normal mice, nerve cells died, causing the brain shrinking.
Scientists said that dealing with air pollution can give long -term benefits from health, social, climate and economic point of view. The situation will improve only after improving the wind. Everyone has to work for this.
