ABSTRACT
Emerging evidence is showing that air pollution is achronic source of neuroinflammation, which has a causal relationship with Alzheimer ’s disease (AD), an increa-singly common and devastating illness in elderly populations. A report on the association between PM from air
pollution and AD provided scientific explanations for the mechanisms driving air pollution-induced CNS pathology, which stimulates calls for action at the political level. This scoping review considers the range of recognised and novel approaches associated with AD, highlighting how neurobiology, sociology of medicine and eco-politics collaborate to generate the interdisciplinary picture of the effects of PM on this malignancy. Such holistic approaches will allow this field to move forward and could lead to an improvement of actionable policies.
