A surprisingly common substance was found to have a causal relationship with the kind of brain damage associated with Alzheimer's disease.

      That’s a shame, tire dust sounds like it’d be really useful for getting to sleep.

      An building on this, tire dust theory why are we not seeing elevated Alzheimer levels in the automotive industry like tire techs? Or race car drivers\pit crews as they are exposed for hour and hours of tire dust in the air?

    Terrible title and mediocre article. Mention of the ppb levels of ozone at ground level, and nothing about concentrations that showed results in their model animal. Title is far too fear-mongering and click-baity.

    Oops edit: “No mention” at the beginning of the second sentence.

      What’s a good science magazine or website where I can read a more credible source?

    It’s Futurism. I’m not sure what you all expected.

      Is futurism not reputable? If not, I won’t read their articles anymore. I mean I just started reading on that website. Let me know.

        They are kind of like Wired or Popular Mechanics. More entertainment than science. Take what you read with several grains of salt.
