The award supports research on how traffic-related air pollution mixtures affect Alzheimer's disease neuropathologies, developing exposure models and investigating critical exposure periods to inform targeted interventions.
Description
This study investigates potential mechanisms by which traffic-related air pollution mixtures, including ultrafine particles, may impact Alzheimer's disease and related dementias through neuropathologic changes. It aims to develop long-term exposure models and investigate timing of exposures associated with neuropathologies, leveraging extensive neuropathology measures and exposure expertise.
