Depression and anxiety with exposure to ozone and particulate matter: An epidemiological claims data analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that increased levels of ambient ozone and PM10 may elevate the risk of a depression or anxiety diagnosis in the general population. However, given the lack of data on individual air pollutant exposure and socioeconomic status, our results should be interpreted with caution. Further well-designed epidemiological studies should replicate our findings. PMID: 32442925 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
