It’s less easy to shrug it off, given this recent study. @Crof in The Tyee today: The study out of @UBC shows those exposed to diesel exhaust had “changes in brain connectivity,” which has been associated with decreased memory and deteriorating productivity at work. Those who breathed filtered air did not lose connectivity. We also know that traffic-related air pollution causes 1,200 premature deaths — those most at risk of this being those living 250 metres within high-traffic roads like kids, old people and “lower socio-economic groups,” according to Health Canada. How does Health Canada advise us to reduce this toll? Don’t exercise in heavy traffic. Stay indoors. Drive a new car with a good engine and emission control, and fill it with low-sulphur fuel.

Those who breathed filtered air did not lose connectivity. We also know that traffic-related air pollution causes 1,200 premature deaths — those most at risk of this being those living 250 metres within high-traffic roads like kids, old people and “lower socio-economic groups,” according to Health Canada.
