我们已经知道空气污染可引起呼吸系统及心脏健康的恶化,每年造成近乎4万英国人死亡。此前的研究还表明,尾气排放会引起大脑萎缩。
But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the onset of dementia, a discovery described as "plausible" and "impressive" by British experts.
然而,加拿大公共健康方面的科学家们最新的研究,却第一次找到住在马路旁和患痴呆几率上升之间的关系。这次发现被英国科学家们称之为“可信的”及“令人震惊的”。
Dr Hong Chen, the lead author from Public Health Ontario, said:
本次研究结果的首席作者、加拿大安大略省公共医疗局陈宏 "Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia."
“我们的研究结果表明繁忙的交通有可能成为一种加大患痴呆几率的环境压力源。”
"Increasing population growth and urbanisation has placed many people close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exposure could pose a large public health burden."
“人口增长及城市化让许多人住在繁忙路段附近,大范围接触到繁忙交通,老年痴呆病患上升。住在路边的一般影响也有可能严重危及公共健康。”
