Tiny particles created by the burning of fossil fuels cause a reduction in proteins linked to hair growth and retention.
According to the study, the levels of three other proteins - cyclin D1, cyclin E and CDK2 - which are responsible for hair growth and hair retention, were also decreased by PM10-like dust and diesel particulate depending on the dose.
"Our research explains the mode of action of air pollutants on human follicle dermal papilla cells, showing how the most common air pollutants lead to hair loss." Particulates are produced by the burning of fossil fuels, including petrol, diesel and other solid-fuels such as coal, oil and biomass as well as industrial activities such as building, mining and the manufacturing of building materials like cement, ceramics and bricks.
