The risk of developing dementia increases with prolonged exposure to air pollution. According to a new study, pollution itself does not cause dementia, but it can accelerate its development if a person has a genetic predisposition to it. The research is based on an analysis of data from 56 million people.

Toxicologist Jan Topinka discusses the impact of air pollution on human health and the research results in live broadcast on Czech Television – Studio ČT24 (open in a new window – available only in Czech).
