Global Air Pollution in Aging: Reading Smoke Signals is a complete
reference connecting environmental pollution research to the human
aging process. Since 1800, lifespans have more than doubled as
infections declined and medicine improved. But the 20th century
introduced a new global scourge of air pollution from fossil fuels
with the potential to damage arteries, hearts and lungs that has
been related to chronic exposure of air pollution from fossil
fuels. Risk areas of study include childhood obesity, brain damage
associated with air pollution, increased risk for autism in
children and dementia in older adults. In humans and animals, air
pollution stimulates chronic inflammation in different organs, and
genetic vulnerability to air pollution is being recognized,
particularly for carriers of the Alzheimer risk gene ApoE4.
