People with a family history of Parkinson's disease should stay away from second-hand smoke! The cross-disciplinary research team of the Aerosol Science Research Center (ASRC) of National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), led by the Director of the center and Professor of the Department of Chemistry, Chia C. Wang, and Professor Hsiu-Fang Fan of the Institute of Medical Science and Technology, carried out joint research and found that the aerosols, suspended particles in the smoke released when cigarettes are burned, more than 80% of suspended particles have a diameter smaller than 1 micron (μm) (thus termed PM1), making them incredibly harmful to health and may aggravate the course of Parkinson's disease. The results were published in the internationally renowned journal, ACS Chemical Neuroscience.
