As the sole caregiver for a father with dementia I can tell you it's a nightmare.
If you have children please, please plan for late life care. And if you're going to be caring for either of your parents start planning and build a support network. By the time I knew I needed help I was drowning. Learn how to ask for help. I thought I was a relatively progressive 50 year old man, but it turns out help is a 4-letter word.

Given that recent Nature paper which claims that a lithium depletion could be responsible for Alzheimer's disease, is there any mechanism that could link increased air pollution to a reduction in lithium levels?

Exposure to another similar metal could in theory displace lithium in biological processes.

well, long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution already shortens their lifespan so they won't even live long enough to reach the average age for dementia

Proves ULEZ is the right call.

I wish all diesels could be included in the ULEZ ban. Or at minimum all non commercial diesel engines.
As a motorbike rider I can taste the diesel fumes as soon as I'm behind one in a way that's unlike any petrol car.
There's large particulates being thrown out by even the most luxurious diesel cars that you simply couldn't tell if you're behind in a car.

Current AQI in london ULEZ is 48 according to google maps which is not that good. Does that mean AQI is not a very good measure of air quality?
