Air pollution exposure impairs cellular energy metabolism

Air pollution exposure impairs cellular energy metabolism according to new research. Exposure to air particulate matter impairs the metabolism of olfactory mucosal cells, according to a recent study from the University of Eastern Finland. The results can contribute to a better understanding of how air pollutants may harm brain health, as the olfactory mucosa can […]
