Exposure to PM2.5 – the collective name for small airborne pollution particles, largely from the combustion of fuels in vehicles, power stations and our homes – has previously been linked with "olfactory dysfunction".

However, this olfactory dysfunction has crept its way out of industrial set-up and has crept into everyday lives of people. A researcher, Murugappan Ramanathan Jr, a rhinologist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, has said, "Our data show there's a 1.6 to 1.7-fold increased [risk of] developing anosmia with sustained particulate pollution," In a survey, the researcher found that the increasing number of patients for ‘anosmia’ were higher in neighbourhoods that reported ‘significantly’ higher levels of PM2.5.

One recent study in Brescia, northern Italy, for example, found the noses of teenagers and young adults became less sensitive to smells the more nitrogen dioxide – another pollutant produced when fossil fuels are burned, in particular from vehicle engines – they were exposed to.

Another year-long study in São Paulo, Brazil, also indicated that people living in areas with higher particulate pollution had an impaired sense of smell.

Jury finds Alex Murdaugh guilty in murder trial of the 2021 shootings of his wife and son

WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) - Disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh was convicted of murder Thursday in the shooting deaths of his wife and son in a case that chronicled the unraveling of a powerful Southern family with tales of privilege, greed and addiction.The jury deliberated for less than three hours before finding Murdaugh guilty of two counts of murder at the end of a six-week trial.Murdaugh, 54, faces 30 years to life in prison without parole when he is sentenced, which in South Carolina is typically right after the verdict but can be delayed if a judge chooses.RELATED: Alex Murdaugh murder trial: What the trial says about usA defense lawyer for Murdaugh said Thursday that state agents were so determined to get the disgraced South Carolina attorney convicted of murder in the killings of his wife and son that they lied about or misrepresented evidence.When closing arguments wrapped up, the judge turned Murdaugh's fate over to jurors after giving them his final instructions, and they headed to their jury room to begin deliberations.Attorney Jim Griffin gave the defense's closing, emphasizing Murdaugh's main point — that investigators focused solely on him and conducted the investigation so poorly that any evidence pointing to someone else, like fingerprints or possible DNA on Maggie or Paul Murdaugh's clothing, was never gathered."How could he have butchered Maggie and Paul without leaving a trace of evidence within a matter of minutes?" Griffin said.Murdaugh, 54, faces 30 years to life in prison if convicted.
