Air Pollution and the Brain

Kanninen, Katja Marika; White, Anthony Robert

This book showcases recent findings on the effects of air pollution on the brain throughout the lifespan, describing different types of pollutants, the mechanisms involved in brain impacts, and a description of the brain diseases associated with exposure. The major authorities in the field present the first book on this topic of growing interest with new information just now becoming available. Among the topics explored are cellular mechanisms induced by air pollution, effects of air pollution on the developing brain, and air pollution and cognition. Air Pollution and the Brain has implications not only for health but also for regulatory agencies working to set limit values for health-harming air pollutants.
