  1. NEURO, ENV and GEO represent the three domains, respectively, neurodegenerative diseases, environmental risk factors and geographic approach. BC, black carbon; CO, carbon monoxide; Cu, copper; Mg, magnesium; Mn, manganese; NOX, nitrogen oxides; O3, ozone; Pb, lead; PM1, ultrafine particulate matter (diameter < 1 µm); PM10, particulate matter (diameter < 10 µm); PM2.5, particulate matter (diameter < 2.5 µm); Rn, radon; SO2, sulphur dioxide
