Scientists probe diesel Fumes' link to dementia

NCT ID NCT07237958

Summary

This study aimed to understand if breathing diesel exhaust affects the sense of smell and thinking skills, and if this could be linked to developing dementia. Forty healthy, non-smoking volunteers were exposed to both diesel exhaust and clean air in a random order. After each exposure, researchers took small tissue samples from inside the nose and gave participants thinking tests to look for changes.
