British scientists at the Francis Crick Institute are launching the Rapid study to investigate the link between air pollution and dementia. Funded by Race Against Dementia, this groundbreaking research focuses on how PM2.5 particulate matter affects brain health and may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. The findings could lead to new drug developments and inform public health policies aimed at reducing environmental health risks.
