In recent years, with the development of the economy, environmental problems have become more and more serious. Air pollution not only affects the climate and the living environment, but also has an unimaginable impact on the human body. The adverse effects of air pollution are not limited to physiological health damage, but also involve negative effects in many aspects such as cognitive function, mood and behavior; air pollution can cause damage to the nervous system, brain function and cognitive function, and the damage is concentrated in children, Susceptible people such as the elderly and chronically ill patients. Air pollution can reduce subjective well-being, leading to anxiety, depression, and even increased risk of suicide.

In order for human beings to survive for a long time, research and countermeasures against the causes of air pollution are essential.
