Air Pollution Linked to Headache Disorders

Imagine tiny bad particles from dirty air get into your body when you breathe.

These particles can go into your nose, your lungs, or even your blood.

Once inside, they cause your body to get a little bit angry and inflamed.

They also release special signals that can affect your brain.

This makes the defense cells in your brain become very active, causing more inflammation and stress.

Over time, this can damage the tiny parts of your brain called neurons.

Scientists think this process might be a reason why some people get headaches, especially those that happen often or are severe.
