2025 Apr 16 Association between air quality and neurodegenerative diseases in River Sacco Valley: A retrospective cohort study in Latium, central Italy
Abstract
Research on the relationship between air pollution and neurodegenerative diseases is growing. However, few studies focus on this association in contaminated sites. We investigated the association between long-term air pollution exposure and dementia/Parkinson's disease..

2025 Mar 17 Healthful Plant-Based Dietary Patterns Associated with Reduced Adverse Effects of Air Pollution on COPD: Findings from a Large Cohort Study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40292512/
Conclusions: Exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and NOx may elevate the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whereas adherence to a high-quality hPDI could potentially counteract this association. Future research should explore the underlying biological mechanisms, assess the long-term effects of diet, and evaluate the effectiveness of dietary modifications in diverse populations to inform targeted prevention policies.
Conclusion and implications: Our study suggested that the long-term exposure to air pollution was associated an increased risk of the transitions from health to incident cataract, dementia or the progression of both conditions. This implied the importance of implementing air pollution control strategies to prevent cataract and dementia.
..These factors are associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, high blood pressure (HBP), heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently, air pollution is the main environmental factor related to CVD. Components such as particulates matter (PM0.1, PM2.5, PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide and dioxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3) have a high capacity to penetrate the body and trigger both local and systemic inflammatory processes...

Association of Short-Term Exposure to Air Pollution with Depression in Patients with Asthma: A Cross-Sectional Study in Delhi, India https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40342955/
Conclusions: Our study shows that greater short-term exposure to air pollution may be associated with increased odds of depression and uncontrolled asthma in patients with asthma. Further studies are required to replicate our results and confirm this association.

Research Unit of Epidemiology and Prevention, IRCCS NEUROMED, Pozzilli, Italy Prominent role of PM10 in the link between air pollution and incident Parkinson's Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40335495/
Abstract
Air pollution has been associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD) risk, although this relationship remains unclear. We estimated yearly levels of exposure to ten air pollutants (period 2006-2018) in an Italian population cohort, the Moli-sani study (N = 24,325; ≥35 years; 51.9% women), and derived three principal components, testing their associations with incident PD risk over 23,841 participants (213 cases, median(IQR) follow-up 11.2(2.0) years). This revealed a statistically significant association of PC1 (explaining 38.2% of common variance, tagging PM10 levels), independent on sociodemographic, professional and lifestyles covariates (Hazard Ratio [95%CI] = 1.04[1.02-1.07]). The association was confirmed testing average PM10 levels during follow-up (18[13-24]% increase of PD risk per 1 μg/m3 increase of PM10). Among different circulating markers, lipoprotein a explained a significant proportion of this association (2.8[0.9; 8.4]%). These findings suggest PM10 as a target to lower PD risk at the population level and a potential implication of lipoprotein a in PD etiology.
