Scientists have found that people who live in areas with the highest levels of traffic pollution can have effect on people’s brains, things such as remembering, understanding language, and solving problems. Traffic pollution can reduce people’s performances of these characteristics of the brain as scientists have proven.
Scientists compared people over the age of 51 and found that those who had lived in more traffic polluted areas had lower cognitive cores compared to those who lived areas who were less exposed to traffic polution. This suggests that people’s brains are being affected by the traffic pollution.
It’s not too late to make a change and help the generations to come by cutting down on pollutions to help save them from these problems.
