I'm sensitive to pollution (coughed when I read this) and live in the Atlanta area which has the worst air quality of any major city in the country. On days when my brain is filled with chemical pollutants, my brain is foggier and poorer concentration. When the air has cleared (not often) brain function returns. BTW I'm an accountant, so I really notice this.

Reply to Air pollutants have been confirmed to increase the risk of Alzheimer's dementia. Air pollutants enter the lungs through the respiratory tract and cause inflammation, which causes various diseases throughout the body, especially the inflammation of nerves when it reaches the brain. by Wagamaga
