Are There Geographic Disparities in Mental Health Impacts of Pollution?

Yes, certain geographic areas are more affected by pollution, leading to disparities in mental health outcomes. Urban areas with high traffic congestion and industrial activities often have higher levels of air pollution, which can result in a higher prevalence of mental health issues among residents. Additionally, low-income communities often face greater exposure to pollutants and have fewer resources to mitigate their effects, contributing to mental health disparities.
