Nitrogen dioxide

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Nitrogen dioxide was not clearly linked with Parkinson's disease onset in humans (Overall cohort, over-50s, and sex-stratified samples).

    “we found no association between medium-term PM2.5 or NO2 exposure and PD onset in the overall cohort, over-50s, or sex-stratified samples.”
