University Study: Jet Pollution Can Penetrate Brain, Lungs

A ground breaking study from a US university has shed light on how the sun transforms jet engine exhaust, potentially creating toxic particles, news.com.au reported Friday.

Researchers have discovered that drops of oil created by idling aircraft engines can over time turn into tiny particles that can easily penetrate the lungs and brain.

Wow, what next?
