Published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) journal, the researchers showed that exposure to fine particulate matter of the type produced by burning fossil fuels in motor vehicles can be mitigated by a daily supplement of B vitamins. With such pollution being known to have significant adverse effects on human health, the finding has profound implications for public health policies worldwide.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button  button_size_2 button_js\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/09\/21\/new-study-shows-air-pollution-may-be-causing-kidney-disease-in-the-us.html\" target=\"_blank\"    ><span class=\"button_label\">Read article at cnbc.com (USA)<\/span><\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEWS A team of scientists from Washington University in St. Louis and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System have found an association between tiny<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[120],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
