Description
Rachit Sharma and co-authors sweep the evidence on air pollution, temperature, and seizures, in this 2024 scoping review. Dirty air and heat may stir brain inflammation and stress, yet studies had never been gathered in one place. The team found thirty-four studies, most from East Asia, that drew exposures from outdoor monitors and cases from medical records.
Sixteen studies covered pollution, twelve covered temperature, and six covered both. Common suspects included fine particles, traffic gases, and daily mean temperature. Results were mixed across the board, with no consistent link for any single exposure, the authors report.
