As if it wasn't enough that biodiesel such as ethanol sources are causing widespread starvation and food strikes now we find out that the emissions may cause brain damage!
The itsy bitsy bits of soot can travel up the nose and lodge in the brain. It is possible this invasion could interfere with normal brain function and information processing.
10 male volunteers, between the ages of eighteen and thirty nine, were told to go into in a room which was then filled with emissions from a diesel engine for one hour. After about 30 minutes, EEG brain wave patterns showed a stress response, this change in pattern suggested reactive adjustments in information processing in the brain cortex.
As it turns out, breathing smog over the long term not only results in higher risk of being afflicted with lung cancer or heart and lung disease, it may also elevate your risk of nerve and brain diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, according to this new study.
How does your brain respond to particles of pollution?
A study recently published found that the molecular toxicity of diesel exhaust leads to oxidative stress-mediated inflammation in your brain cortex. (It has been considered true for a while now that inflammation is the essential causative factor in both cardiac and systemic impairments from inhalation of diesel fumes.)
Your brain is extremely sensitive to damage caused by oxidative stress.
For example, oxidative stress seems to have some negative impact in the onset of diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
This kind of stress in the brain cortex also appears to be present in various other psycho-pathological conditions for instance:
headaches
post-traumatic stress disorder
"burnout"
traumatic brain injury
The researchers found that the beta waves in the test subjects in this study were negatively impacted, But not the alpha,theta or delta waves.
So what does that mean?
Well, here is "brain science 101" (please assure me you won't leave here and perform brain surgery on anyone after this short intro), your brainwaves are on a scale from the most to the least activity. Those waves referred to as beta are generated when your brain is at its most awakened and actively engaged in mental activities. These waves are the fastest of the four brainwaves.
If you're in active dialogue with someone, your brain is in beta. A debater, public speaker or teacher is in high beta (with the exception of McCain). Right at this moment, I hope that I have you in beta. So this is definitely not a brain function you'd want to have impeded. Those actively working to forward the agenda known as the "dumbing down of America" - they might want you to have it impeded. But that is a different subject, eh?
In a special x-ray picture from the test it shows how the left portion of the frontal cortex is lit up on the test subjects that endured the diesel fuel exposure, compared to the control group.
They hypothesize this effect could be getting caused by the presence of nanoparticles.
What it does show is that contaminated particles from diesel and other sources in the air are a serious concern that translates to trouble for both your body and your brain.
If you want to help eliminate smog for your own better health and the health of your family and loved ones there is something effective that you can do!
WATER4GAS is providing information at a low price which folks can use at home to put together a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car runs on.
The process makes bite sized particles out of the particles that the engine uses as fuel. So it is able to use considerably more of the gasoline.
With WATER4GAS you can reasonably expect to improve your fuel economy by 30-50% or even more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty darn huge in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made usable so you can improve your fuel economy.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
