Forest fire smoke big tehdi for brain health Tags

Orman fires not only lead to environmental disasters and ecosystem destruction, but also cause serious negative effects on human health. Recent research reveals the damage of the forest fire smoke to the human brain as clearly as never before.

Demans risk increases[
A research presented at the International Conference of Alzheimer’s Association revealed that exposure to forest fire fume can significantly increase the risk of dementia. From Washington and Pennsylvania universities, scientists examined the health records of 1.2 million adults living in Southern California between 2009-2019. The research assesses the levels of exposure to fine particulate substance (PM2.5) that causes air pollution of people and compares this data with demans diagnostic rates. According to research results, every microgram increase in the intensity of exposure to forest fire smoke increases the likelihood of dementia by about 21 percent. It is known that every 3 micrograms increase in intensity of exposure to other air pollution sources increases the risk of dementia by 3 percent. (LitCharts) These results indicate that the effects of forest fire smoke on brain health may be more serious than other types of air pollution. [

Beyinde can lead to neurological damage][
Forest fire smoke contains high level of fine particle material (PM2.5). These particles are absorbed by the lungs when they enter the body through breathing and pass into the bloodstream. These harmful substances passing into circulation can lead to inflammation and neurological damage. In a study published in Neuroscience News, severe neuro inflammatory reactions were observed in the brains of mice exposed to wood smoke. In this study, significant neuroinflammatory and metabolic changes were detected in hypocampus zones of mice exposed to wood smoke. The research revealed that wood smoke leads to inflammation and metabolic disorders in the nerve cells in the brain, these changes can create long-term neurological and behavioral effects.
