Systemic inflammation

Caption

Fine particulate matter can enter via the bloodstream (systemic route) or the olfactory nerve (olfactory route), crossing the blood–brain barrier and causing local inflammatory effects in the brain. Fine particulate matter may also induce systemic inflammation, leading to impairments in the brain.
