Air pollution is the worst these days in Delhi NCR and almost all cities and towns of our country ,Particles below 2.5 microgram and even 1 micgrogram concentration with PM10 particles are raised manifolds of normal level in these winters leading to closure of schools and all marathons and morning walk in these days.Gases like sulphur di oxide and nitrous oxide has changed these places into a hot Gas Chamber.

                 Discovering a link between toxic air and psychological distress, a study has warned that air pollution can trigger mental health issues.As per researchers, as particulate matter in the air increases, so does its impact on mental health."This is really setting out a new trajectory around the health effects of air pollution," said Anjum Hajat, from the University of Washington in the US.

    "The effects of air pollution on cardiovascular health and lung diseases like asthma are well established, but this area of brain health is a newer area of research," said Hajat.Previous research has associated air pollution with heart disease, stroke, various cancers and even premature death.

           Scientists have identified "social determinants" of physical and mental well-being, such as availability of healthy foods at local grocers, access to nature or neighbourhood safety.
