Delhi Delhi. According to a new study, exposure to air pollution affects the person's decision, affects emotional intelligence and meditation and potentially makes regular activities more challenging.

Researchers, including researchers at the University of Birmingham, UK, compared the performance of 26 adults in two groups – one group that was in contact with high levels of air pollution, was using candle smoke, and the other is using clean air Was.

The team found that the high levels of Particulate Matter (PM) Pollution can affect the high-order cognitive functions of the participants, including self-control and continuous attention, which for other aspects of work and life. Are important.

Air pollution has been studied as a major risk factor for neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's and dementia, where cognition and memory is affected. The long -term contact of PM 2.5 air pollution has also been linked to poor learning and memory in children.

However, a study published in Nature Communications Journal has revealed that Birmingham University co-writer Thomas Faharti said that “the contact with the granuid substance also negatively negatively negative The effect may be. ” For studies, participants' cognitive abilities, including attention and emotion identification, were tested before and four hours after exposed to polluted air.

The authors wrote, “The results showed that after coming in contact with the PM, selective attention and emotion expression decreased significant decrease in discrimination.” The working memory, which just serves as a 'temporary scope' to store and manipulate the information just learned, was also measured and found that it is unaffected. Therefore, researchers suggested that inflammation in the brain due to pollution may be responsible for focusing and decreasing emotions.

He said that the results also indicated that some brain functions could be more flexible when exposed to pollution. Cognitive functioning, including attention and controlled behavior, is important to complete everyday tasks in work and other aspects of life. For example, selective attention – to focus on what is important and ignor what is not important – is known to help make decisions and achieve the goal. Recognizing the feelings of yourself and others helps to understand how to behave socially.
