Also, homes close to well traveled Villages residential streets would inhale a lot of exhaust gas from GASOLINE golf carts. I would like to know if people living in golf communities that require ELECTRIC golf carts experience less Parkinson's problems. There are also other factors like fertilizers and insect killers that are applied to the fairways and greens that could add to the Parkinson's problems.
The factor that comes to my mind is lithium from electric carts
