“Learning What Substance Is Suspected of Causing Alzheimer’s May Throw You Into an Existential Crisis” [if you like vehicles with rubber tires] “New research by a team in China discovered an alarming link between a chemical commonly found in tires and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. The chemical, called 6PPD-Q, is formed when fine tire particles meet ozone. That happens anytime new chunks of tire are exposed to the air, meaning the particle may be nearly ubiquitous in car-heavy environments.” https://futurism.com/health-medicine/chemical-causing-alzheimers-disease-brain-damage-tires

    @c_9@mstdn.ca seems pretty logical and sort of born out by the studies that show living within 500m of a highway is really damn bad for your health.
