Causal Effects of Exposure to Air Pollution on the Risk of Neurosurgical Multi-system Diseases: A Worldwide Study of Mendelian Randomization
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40959577/
Abstract
Background: Epidemiological studies has investigated the correlation between ambient air pollution and neurosurgical multisystem diseases. Multiple studies have shown that air pollution significantly influences various neurological disorders. Nevertheless, the findings from these studies are inconsistent and contentious, leaving the causal relationships for many conditions unresolved. The study systematically investigates the underlying genetic causal relationships between air pollution and neurosurgical multisystem diseases, as well as to assess the implications of these associations.
Conclusion: This study presents the first genetic evidence establishing a connection between air pollution and neurosurgical multisystem diseases. Our findings emphasize the importance of air quality in the context of these diseases, potentially offering new insights into the underlying mechanisms and informing future clinical research on air pollution-mediated neurosurgical conditions, particularly cerebrovascular and brain functional disorders.

The Impact of Early Life Exposure to Air Pollution on the Brain: A Diffusion MRI Study in 10-13-Year-Old Children With and Without ADHD Diagnosis
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40977578/
Abstract
Recent studies indicate that air pollutants not only increase the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases but also have a negative impact on the developing brain. Exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) may lead to disruption of neural development by interfering with critical maturation processes. In this study, we assessed the impact of prenatal and early life PM10 and NO2 exposure on diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) structural measures: fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), and fixel-based analysis (FBA) on a population of 425 10- to 13-year-old children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 116), a sensitive, at-risk population, and typically developing children (TD, n = 309) from the NeuroSmog study. Unlike traditional voxel-based methods, FBA allows identification of distinct fiber bundles within voxels. We show that early life exposure to NO2 was associated with lower global FA and higher MD measures. However, despite having a large sample size and using state-of-the-art techniques, we found no significant fixel-level associations. Notably, we found no evidence that individuals with ADHD are more susceptible to the effects of air pollution. Combined with other studies, our results suggest that dMRI measures are the brain outcomes most consistently affected by air pollution.

Associations of greenness and air pollution with leukocyte telomere length in Chinese children and adolescents
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41014975/
...In conclusion, greenness exposure was positively associated with leukocyte telomere length in children and adolescents, and this association is primarily mediated by the attenuation of air pollution exposure.
