Living in areas polluted by high levels of fine dust could take a decade off your memory according to new research from the UK.<br />Scientists at Warwick University surveyed some 34-thousand British people and found that,... those living in areas with high levels of air pollution showed a significant lag in remembering words,... compared to those living in areas with cleaner air.<br />And the difference was equivalent to aging ten years.<br />While there needs to be further research on how nitrogen dioxide and air particles affect human memory,... the recent study shows a strong link between the two.<br />The findings will be published in Ecological Economics.<br />
