The role of the components of PM2.5 in the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders
We found positive associations between the 15 PM<sub>2.5</sub> components and the incidence of dementia and AD. Our findings suggest that reducing PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions from traffic and fossil fuel combustion could help mitigate the growing burden of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
