Vehicle Pollution Damages Brain: Study Reveals

An experiment made on mice has revealed that vehicular emissions and noise can severely affect the brain in the form of Alzheimer and memory loss. The toxin that causes is not any exhaust gas rather a mix of particles from burning of fuel and weathering (aging) of car parts. The scientists reproduced such toxin in laboratory and tested it on mice who showed the damages to the functioning mentioned...
