Sulfur dioxide exposure and ALS risk
This Canadian study links long-term residential sulfur dioxide exposure with higher odds of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and fine particles showed no clear link, but sulfur dioxide remained significant up to 10 years before onset. For people with the disease and their families, cleaner air could lower future risk and offer hope for prevention.
