Beyond Genetics: Environmental Hair Loss Factors - Belgravia Centre
When people begin suffering from hair loss , they naturally seek to identify the cause of it within their own body. While many hair loss conditions are caused by genes and temporary conditions existing within the body, sometimes external environmental factors can play an important part in the causes of hair loss.
Pollution and hair lossResearch carried out at the University of London in 2008 suggested that air pollution may play a larger role in hairloss than previously thought.
Scientists at the University’s School of Medicine studied the hair follicles of balding men, and concluded that toxins and carcinogens in polluted air can interfere with the protein producing processes within the body which stimulate hair growth.
One of the researchers, Mike Philpott, commented at the time: “We think any pollutant that can get into the bloodstream or into the skin and into the hair follicle could cause some stress to it and impair the ability of the hair to make a fibre. There are a whole host of carcinogens and toxins in the environment that could trigger this. It suggests that if you … live in an area with less air pollution you may be less predisposed to hair loss.”
