Does exposure to atmospheric metal pollution increase the chances of getting PD?
Palacios et al. [1] linked: - Environmental Protection Agency Air Toxics data for "the following metals: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, mercury and nickel, as well as total metal exposure" - health data from a prospective study of female nurses with 540 cases of PD. They found: "Adulthood ambient exposure to the metals examined in this study does not appear to influence risk of PD disease." Reference [1] "E-002: Exposure to Airborne Metals and risk of Parkinson Disease in a Prospective Study of US Women" Palacios, Natalia; Roberts, Andrea; Weisskopf, Marc; Schwarzschild, Michael; Laden, Francine; Ascherio, Alberto Epidemiology. 23(5S):, September 2012. doi: 10.1097/01.ede.0000416602.63176.b5 http://journals.lww.com/epidem/Citat...risk_of.3.aspx John
