From lungs to brain: Delhis pollution may have a deeper health cost
New Delhi, Aug 22: For Delhiites, the health cost of breathing polluted air may go beyond coughing, breathlessness and heart problems, with a Delhi University review suggesting that prolonged exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) could also affect the brain. Studies reviewed by DU professors have linked long-term exposure to particulate matter with changes in brain structure, memory, attention and other cognitive functions. Researchers said PM2.5 can trigger inflammation and oxidative stress, affect the energy-producing system of brain cells and interfere with the blood-brain barrier, which normally protects the brain from harmful substances. Some of the smallest particles may also reach the central nervous system through the nose and the olfactory pathway, the review said. The review, conducted by DU professors from the Department of Environmental Studies, examined 129 peer-reviewed articles on the neurological effects of particulate matter and found growing evidence linking long-term exposure to PM2.5 with cognitive impairment and structural and functional changes in the brain. Air pollution is no longer only a lung and heart problem; it is increasingly a brain-health problem. Research now links long-term particulate-matter exposure with cognitive decline, impaired neurodevelopment and biological processes associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, Vandana Mishra, one of the researchers associated with the study, said. Mishra added that fine particulate matter has even been seen to breach the blood-brain barrier, a dangerous side effect of pollution. One key concern highlighted in the review is that prolonged exposure to air pollution has been associated with changes in the physical structure of the brain. A growing body of evidence strongly demonstrates that chronic exposure to ambient air pollution, particularly PM, leads to region-specific structural and functional alterations in the human brain, spanning across developmental and ageing stages, the study says. Neuroimaging and other studies have reported reductions in brain volume and cortical thickness, particularly in areas such as the frontal and temporal lobes that are involved in cognition. These structural changes have been associated with problems in memory, attention and executive functions such as planning and decision-making, the study adds. The review also cites evidence of changes in the hippocampus, a region important for memory, as well as disruption in connections between different areas of the brain. In older adults, long-term exposure has been associated with reduced brain volume and impaired hippocampal function. At the same time, changes in the prefrontal cortex and increased white-matter abnormalities have also been reported. The researchers caution that such findings should not be interpreted as proof that air pollution alone causes neurological diseases. Much of the existing evidence concerns structural and cognitive changes rather than confirmed cases of diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. The findings also raise particular concerns for children and young people because their brains are still developing. The review cites studies reporting reduced grey and white matter volumes in children exposed to air pollution, along with possible effects on IQ, attention and behavioural regulation. Research on prenatal and early-life exposure has also linked pollution exposure with impaired cognitive development and lower intelligence scores in children. The review notes that early-life exposure can affect biological pathways involved in brain development and synaptic plasticity, the process through which connections between brain cells are formed and strengthened. The concern is not limited to children. The review cites evidence of subclinical neurodegenerative changes in otherwise healthy young adults, suggesting that prolonged pollution exposure could potentially contribute to premature ageing of the brain. According to the review, several processes may work together to cause the neurological effects. PM2.5 exposure can activate microglia, the brain's immune cells, leading to inflammation. Persistent inflammation can affect nerve cells and their connections. Pollution can also cause oxidative stress, damaging proteins, fats and DNA, while affecting mitochondria, which provide energy to cells. The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex may be particularly vulnerable because they have high energy requirements and play important roles in memory, learning and decision-making. The review also highlights the role of metals and other toxic substances carried by particulate matter. These can interfere with communication between nerve cells and affect white matter development, particularly in the developing brain. For Delhi, where exposure to particulate pollution can be a recurring part of daily life, the research adds another dimension to the city's air pollution problem, suggesting that the impact of polluted air may not always be immediately visible and could extend to the brain over prolonged exposure.

We are watching your every move: Fresh threat letter targets Kashmiri Pandit families
Srinagar, Aug 24: A fresh threat letter purportedly targeting Kashmiri Pandit families has raised security concerns, with the communication naming individuals, listing personal details and warning those associated with the return and rehabilitation of displaced families in Jammu and Kashmir. The contents of the letter suggest an attempt to intimidate families who have rebuilt their lives outside the Valley, reported News 18. Personal details published in threat What has particularly alarmed security circles is the alleged inclusion of names and specific addresses of individuals in the communication. The disclosure of such details has raised concerns that the message may be intended as a targeted threat rather than a generic warning. The letter reportedly describes some Kashmiri Pandits as pawns, traitors and white-collar terrorists, while accusing them of working for political interests in Delhi. It also warns individuals allegedly involved in efforts to advance the RSSs ideological agenda in Jammu and Kashmir. The communication further warns those facilitating the return or rehabilitation of displaced Kashmiri Pandits to the Valley. We are watching your every move, the letter reportedly states, followed by a warning that calamity strikes when it must. The letter reportedly claims that Kashmiri Pandits who remained in the Valley and did not avail themselves of earlier government rehabilitation schemes are safe. It simultaneously threatens those involved in efforts to facilitate the return of displaced families. Security agencies examining letter The emergence of the letter has also drawn attention to references to groups such as the United Liberation Council. Security agencies are examining whether such names are being used by militant networks or their affiliates to issue threats while attempting to project the communications as coming from local organisations, reported News 18. Security agencies are examining the authenticity and provenance of the communication, as well as the identities of those responsible for issuing the threats.

NSA Doval to visit China today to attend Special Representatives talks with FM Wang
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is scheduled to arrive in Beijing on Monday to take part in the India-China Special Representatives (SR) talks on the boundary issue with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi. Doval and Wang are scheduled to hold the 25th round of SR talks on Tuesday, according to official sources. Both Doval and Wang are the designated SRs for the boundary talks mechanism, which was established in 2003 to comprehensively address the vexed boundary dispute of the India-China border spanning 3,488 km. While success eluded it in resolving the boundary dispute, officials on both sides regard the structured mechanism as a useful tool in addressing the recurring tensions between the two countries on various fronts. The upcoming talks assume significance as they are being held ahead of the much-anticipated visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to India to attend the BRICS summit in New Delhi on September 12-13. While there is no official confirmation about Xis visit, officials on both sides are optimistic about the Chinese leaders participation, which could provide an opportunity for a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the summit to discuss initiatives to take forward bilateral ties. The two leaders met in August last year on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin. Ahead of Doval-Wang talks in Beijing, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday reiterated that peace and tranquillity along the border areas are prerequisite for good relations with China. His comments came amid reports of aggressive posturing by Chinese troops in Arunachal Pradesh's Upper Subansiri region in recent weeks. I think we went through a particularly bad patch between the summer of 2020 and the autumn of 2024, and that was primarily an outcome of the situation in the border areas, Jaishankar said at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum in New Delhi on Saturday. At the end of the day, peace and tranquillity in the border areas is a prerequisite for good relations, and the state of the border, to a very large measure, naturally would determine the state of the relations, he said. On the reports of stepped-up Chinese military activity near the Arunachal Pradesh border, Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on August 12 that the China-India border situation is generally stable at the moment. China and India held the 36th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on China-India Border Affairs, Guo said. The two sides agreed to maintain communication via diplomatic and military channels and jointly uphold peace and tranquility in the border areas, he said. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on August 11 said that India considers matters relating to border areas with China as most serious and asserted that maintaining peace and tranquillity along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is of utmost importance, as the state of the frontier will govern the overall trajectory of bilateral ties. Earlier, New Delhi also trashed Beijing's criticism of its decision to formally identify 27 places and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh by their standard names, emphasising that the state is an inalienable and integral part of India and nothing can change this indisputable reality. China, which claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of South Tibet, has been releasing its set of names for the region since 2017. India termed the Chinese move as vain and preposterous, asserting that such actions will not alter the undeniable reality that the state was, is, and will always remain an integral part of India.
