Air pollution is a major public health problem. It increases the risk of respiratory and cardiac problems, as well as brain damage. Scientists at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver used functional MRI to focus their research on all the brain regions that are active when the brain is at rest. They found that brain activity was significantly lower in participants who had breathed in exhaust fumes. This alteration in brain activity can have harmful consequences for health. Transport is the second largest contributor of greenhouse gases, accounting for 24.6% of emissions.
