Oxidative Stress from Low Dose Ozone Causes Neurodegeneration in the Brain

Oxidative Stress Caused by Ozone Exposure Induces Loss of Brain Repair in The Hippocampus of Adult Rats

Summary: "oxidative stress caused by low doses of ozone causes dysregulation of inflammatory processes, progressive neurodegeneration, chronic loss of brain repair in the hippocampus causing impaired memory, and brain plasticity changes in the rat analogous to those seen in Alzheimer's disease."

Note: ozone is ozone -- does not matter if it produced mechanically or from chemical components in air.
