Overall, these findings suggest that long-term PM2.5 exposure may increase delinquent behavior of urban-dwelling adolescents, with the resulting neurotoxic effect aggravated by psychosocial adversities.
Socioeconomic disparities and sexual dimorphism in neurotoxic effects of ambient fine particles on youth IQ: A longitudinal analysis

Exposure to ambient fine particles at residential locations affects intelligence quotient (IQ) during pre-/early- adolescence and emerging adulthood in a demographically-diverse population in Southern California, and increased ambient PM2.5 levels were associated with decreased IQ scores.
Long-Term Ambient Temperature and Externalizing Behaviors in Adolescents
This study provides the first individual-level epidemiologic evidence supporting the adverse association of long-term ambient temperature and aggression on externalizing behaviors of urban-dwelling adolescents.

Late-life exposure to PM2.5 is associated with increased neuroanatomic risk of AD, which may not be explained by available indicators of cerebrovascular damage.
Air Pollution and the Dynamic Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Memory in Oldest‐Old Women
This work examined the association between air pollution and changes in depressive symptoms (DS) and episodic memory (EM) and their interrelationship in oldest‐old (aged 80 and older) women.
Particulate matter and episodic memory decline mediated by early neuroanatomic biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease.
The findings illustrate the continuum of PM2.5 neurotoxicity that contributes to early decline of immediate free recall/new learning at the preclinical stage, which is mediated by progressive atrophy of grey matter indicative of increased Alzheimer's disease risk, independent of cerebrovascular damage.
Outdoor Air Pollution and Brain Structure and Function From Across Childhood to Young Adulthood: A Methodological Review of Brain MRI Studies

Preliminary findings suggest that outdoor air pollutants may impact MRI brain structure and function, but limitations highlight that the design of future air pollution-neuroimaging studies needs to incorporate a developmental neurosciences perspective, considering the exposure timing, age of study population, and the most appropriate neurodevelopmental milestones.
Exposure to fine particulate matter and temporal dynamics of episodic memory and depressive symptoms in older women.
The data did not support depressive symptoms as the neuropsychological mediator of accelerated brain aging associated with PM2.5, and findings suggest that PM3.5 neurotoxicity may damage brain areas implicated in EM, followed by manifestation of depressive symptoms.
