“Living near major roads linked to risk of dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and MS,” Science Daily

 

Quote:
“Researchers from the University of British Columbia analyzed data for 678,000 adults in Metro Vancouver. They found that living less than 50 metres from a major road or less than 150 metres from a highway is associated with a higher risk of developing dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and MS — likely due to increased exposure to air pollution.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Besides, the road noise will drive you nuts anyway.
