Air pollution linked to heart disease, Parkinson's, and bone loss

Air pollution poses significant risks beyond respiratory health, with recent studies linking it to increased congenital heart disease (CHD) risk in infants and accelerated bone density loss in postmenopausal women, particularly in lower-income communities. Furthermore, long-term exposure to certain air pollutants is associated with an elevated risk of Parkinson's disease, although evidence for links to other neurological conditions remains inconclusive. These findings underscore the pervasive impact of air quality on various aspects of human health and highlight disparities in exposure and health outcomes. AI
