Abstract
Urban ambient air pollution is identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality. There is growing evidence suggesting associations between air pollution and a wide range of additional negative health conditions. The existing literature supports the association between exposure to ambient air pollutants and brain health. Among such reported effects are increased incidence of neurological and psychiatric disorders including cognitive decline, anxiety, depression, drug abuse, and suicide.

In recently published article by Thomson, the author wrote in the abstract: “The present paper provides an overview of how systemic stress-dependent biological responses common to particulate matter and ozone may provide insight into early the central nervous system effects of pollutants, including links with oxidative, inflammatory, and metabolic processes [7]”
We have found in practice that, for large variations in concentration, our risk function can have a marked curvature near the concentration z = mu and setting tau = 0.1 suitably reduces this undesirable curvature without large changing the shape of the function
Summary
Urban ambient air pollution is identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality [1]. The existing literature supports the association between exposure to ambient air pollutants and brain health. Among such reported effects are increased incidence of neurological and psychiatric disorders including cognitive decline, anxiety, depression, drug abuse, and suicide [2,3,4,5,6]. In recently published article by Thomson, the author wrote in the abstract: “The present paper provides an overview of how systemic stress-dependent biological responses common to particulate matter and ozone may provide insight into early the central nervous system effects of pollutants, including links with oxidative, inflammatory, and metabolic processes [7]”. In his paper the author explains biological aspect of air pollutants which can act as stressors and elicit endocrine stress responses. The body of research suggests that air pollutants might affect human behaviour in the light of their toxicity on the central nervous system
