Oops! Another setback for biodiesel! The emissions appear to contribute to brain damage!
The itsy bitsy bits of soot can travel up the nose and lodge in the brain. It is possible this invasion could impede normal brain performance and data processing.
10 male test subjects, between the ages of eighteen and thirty nine, were placed in a room which was then filled with exhaust from a diesel engine for a solid hour. After about 30 minutes, EEG brain wave patterns showed a reaction, is suggesting to researches reactive adjustments in information processing at the cortex of the brain.
As it turns out, inhaling contaminated air over a period of years not only increases your risk of being afflicted with lung cancer or disorders of the heart or lung, it may also heighten your risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, according to this new study.
How does your brain respond to contaminated particles?
A recent bit of research made known that the molecular toxicity of diesel exhaust creates oxidative stress-mediated inflammation in your brain cortex. (Inflammation is already considered to be the primary causative element in both pulmonary and systemic afflications from inhalation of diesel fumes.)
Your brain is extremely sensitive to harmful effects brought on by oxidative stress.
For example, oxidative stress is thought to be, at least in some measure, the villain in conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
This type of pressure in the brain cortex is also found in various other psycho-pathological ailments including:
headaches
post-traumatic stress disorder
the feeling known as "burnout"
traumatic brain injury
The researchers found that the beta waves in the test subjects in this study were negatively impacted, whereas the alpha, theta, and delta waves were not altered to any great degree.
So what does that mean?
Well, here is "brain science 101" (please assure me you won't go off and perform brain surgery on anyone after this short intro), your brainwaves range from the most activity to the least activity. Beta waves 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.
When you are in active dialogue with someone, your brain is in beta. A debater, preacher or teacher is in high beta (with the exception of Rudy Giuliani). Right at this moment, I hope that I have you in beta. It's certainly not a brain function you'd want to have impeded. Those engaged in the "dumbing down of America" - they would certainly want to impede your beta waves. But that is a topic for a different time and venue, eh?
In a special x-ray picture from the test it shows how the left section of the frontal cortex is shown as brighter on the test subjects who were exposed to diesel fumes, compared to the group that did not get gassed.
They hypothesize this effect might be due to the existence of nanoparticles.
What it does show is that contaminated particles from diesel and other sources in the air are a serious concern that means hazards for both your body and your brain.
If you wish 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!
is providing information for a nominal fee which consumers can use at home to put together a small device which instills hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the particles that the engine burns as fuel. Therefore the system gets to use much more of it.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to reduce your fuel consumption by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those molecules must have been pretty "blankin'" big in some systems before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can reduce your fuel consumption.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
