Emerging evidence links tire pollution to Alzheimer's risk

A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with the inner workings of brain cells, leading to Alzheimer's disease. Zhang and Zhang's new paper in the journal Open Medicine, "6PPD‑Quinone Exposu
