United Press International featured research by Jiu-Chiuan Chen of Keck Medicine of USC, Constantinos Sioutas and Arian Saffari of the USC Viterbi School, and Caleb Finch and Todd Morgan of the USC Leonard Davis School on the possible link between pollution and smog inhalation and the incidence of dementia.
