蜡烛烟雾暴露会损害大脑在数小时内的功能,引起痴呆症的担忧。 Candle smoke exposure impairs brain function within hours, raising dementia concerns.

Birmingham大学的一项研究将蜡烛的使用与短期认知下降联系起来,发现在4小时内暴露于蜡烛烟雾影响焦点、情绪识别和任务表现。 A University of Birmingham study links candle use to short-term cognitive decline, finding that exposure to candle smoke impaired focus, emotion recognition, and task performance within four hours. 与清洁空气相比,接触蜡烛产生的颗粒物的参与者的工作记忆和心理运动速度有所下降。 Participants exposed to candle-generated particulate matter showed reduced working memory and psychomotor speed compared to those in clean air. 研究人员警告低水平室内污染可能会随着时间的推移损害大脑功能,可能增加痴呆症的风险,并敦促人们提高对家庭空气质量的认识。 Researchers warn low-level indoor pollution may harm brain function over time, potentially increasing dementia risk, and urge greater awareness of household air quality.
