Billions of people are exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels above the USEPA’s annual standard 9 μg/m3. Common emission sources anthropogenic, producing complex aerosolized toxins. Ultrafine (UFPM) and industrial nanoparticles (NPs) have major detrimental effects on brain, but USA does not measure UFPM a routine basis. This review focuses development progression common neurodegenerative diseases, as diagnosed through neuropathology, among young residents in Metropolitan Mexico City (MMC). MMC is one most polluted megacities world, with population 22 million residents, many whom unaware brain caused by their atmosphere. Fatal diseases (such Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s) that begin childhood populations living air environments preventable. We conclude UFPM/NPs capable disrupting neural homeostasis give rise relentless processes throughout entire life highly MMC. The paradigm reaching old age neurodegeneration no longer supported. Neurodegenerative changes start early pediatric ages irreversible. It time invest preventive medicine.
