People living with air pollution have higher rates of depression and suicide, a systematic review of global data has found.
Cutting air pollution around the world to the EU’s legal limit could prevent millions of people becoming depressed, the research suggests. This assumes that exposure to toxic air is causing these cases of depression. Scientists believe this is likely but is difficult to prove beyond doubt.
The particle pollution analysed in the study is produced by burning fossil fuels in vehicles, homes and industry. The researchers said the new evidence further strengthened calls to tackle what the World Health Organization calls the “silent public health emergency” of dirty air.
“We’ve shown that air pollution could be causing substantial harm to our mental health, making the case for cleaning up the air we breathe even more urgent,” said Isobel Braithwaite, at University College London (UCL), who led the research.

If you guys can't handle the ups and downs of an evolving society maybe you should LEAVE

Financial struggle, bad relationships, terrible diets, no excercise, 24/7 staring at screens all probably don't have much to do with it. But air pollution though.

Sounds like the people killing themselves are the ones who can't handle it.Gwad said:If you guys can't handle the ups and downs of an evolving society maybe you should LEAVE

Our evolving society where we get rid o science and replace it with idiots like @Gwad running around screaming that the end is near as we ride horses and trains in search of food since there is no more fertilizer.
We are going to evolve right back to the stone age. Thanks kids for being fucking idiots -
