PCB exposure was associated with poorer recognition memory, alcohol with slower cognitive processing speed, and cocaine with faster processing speed but poorer recognition memory.
Aircraft noise exposure at school remained significantly associated with poorer recognition memory, reading comprehension, information recall, and conceptual recall.
PCB-153 was associated with poorer recognition memory on the FTII, as indicated by lower novelty preference.
Factors associated with poorer recognition of ovarian symptoms included older age, being single, lower educational level, and lack of personal experience of the condition.
Aircraft noise exposure at school was significantly associated with poorer recognition memory and conceptual recall memory after adjustment for nitrogen dioxide levels.
Aircraft noise exposure at school remained significantly associated with poorer recognition memory, reading comprehension, information recall, and conceptual recall after adjustment for nitrogen dioxide levels.
That these changes have behavioral consequences was suggested by the observation that drug modulations were most pronounced in older subjects with poorer recognition memory.
One exception was that road traffic noise exposure was associated with poorer recognition memory for children with lower nitrogen dioxide exposure (β = −0.07, P < 0.05, n = 314) compared with children higher nitrogen dioxide exposure (β = 0.03, P = 0.13, n = 327).
We found no evidence that air pollution moderated associations, with the exception that road traffic noise exposure was associated with poorer recognition memory for children with lower nitrogen dioxide exposure at school compared with children with higher nitrogen dioxide exposure at school.
