A joint study by the University of California and medical institutions revealed that long-term exposure to ultrafine dust ...

Air pollution could be affecting your brain power - The impacts are similar to what researchers would expect from 10 years of ...

A new study by researchers at UC Davis Health and Kaiser Permanente found that higher exposure to very small air pollution particles (PM2.5) over a 17-year span was associated with lower semantic ...

A study of more than 700 adults found that long term exposure to air pollution was linked to lower semantic memory scores.

A new study finds higher long-term exposure to fine air pollution (PM2.5) is linked to lower semantic memory — the type of memory used for facts, words and general knowledge.

The findings reveal that high exposure to microscopic air pollution explicitly targets semantic memory, the brain’s internal encyclopedia for facts, language, and general knowledge, causing a level of ...

Semantic memory is a form of long-term memory that comprises a person’s knowledge about the world. Along with episodic memory, it is considered a kind of explicit memory, because a person is ...
