Environmental Pollutants and Neurological Disorders
This study is collecting blood, urine, hair, and tissue samples from neurosurgery patients to measure their exposure to environmental pollutants — heavy metals, plastics, PFAS, and other chemicals — and look for connections to brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease. It is an observational study with no phase designation, meaning researchers are gathering data, not testing a treatment. No intervention is being given to participants.
You may qualify if
- 18 years of age or older;
- Able to give informed consent to participate in the research.
You're excluded if
- Refusal to participate.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding woman.
The sponsor's own eligibility wording, lightly reformatted. The study team makes the final eligibility decision — worth discussing with your doctor.
