Airborne particles cause toxic clumps of proteins in brain that are hallmarks of Lewy body dementia, study indicates
Fine-particulate air pollution can drive devastating forms of dementia by triggering the formation of toxic clumps of protein that destroy nerve cells as they spread through the brain, research suggests.
Exposure to the airborne particles causes proteins in the brain to misfold into the clumps, which are hallmarks of Lewy body dementia, the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. Continue reading...

On the longest day of the year, and one of the hottest too, many of us will be heading outside for al fresco dining.
Remember, leave your BBQs at home - the landscape is tinder-dry and just a small spark can lead to miles of devastating damage.
Spread a love of nature, not a fire. Thank you.

Jeff Bezos has more money than any human could spend - and he’s wasting it on planet-wrecking joy rides to space while people on earth starve.
