Parkinson’s disease cases have more than doubled in the last 25 years, raising concerns beyond aging and genetics. Researchers are now pointing to environmental factors, especially pollution and pesticide exposure, as key contributors. Hotspots like the U.S. Rust Belt and military bases highlight the impact of air toxins and chemicals, offering a clearer link between environmental contamination and rising disease rates.
