Cotter and colleagues reveals that air pollution has significant effects on white matter development in adolescents, with findings indicating that exposure to pollutants like PM2.5, NO2, and O3 during crucial developmental years can influence brain maturation processes differently across sexes. The study highlights alarming consequences of low-level pollution, which occurs even below current U.S. standards.
