    Several studies indicate a nexus between Parkinsons & Industrial & chemical pollution - everything from from pesticides, To NOX to long gone steel production etc.

    The same relationship appears worldwide as well.

    Disclaimer - of course there's an obvious genetic factor, but still - it makes one think how close someone's family members suffering from Parkinsons might have been to such environmental sources.

    i have no doubt that many of our afflictions are caused by one type of pollution or another.
    many things considered 'safe' really haven't been studied.
    what are micro plastics doing to us in the long run?
