Air pollution can cause depression, study reveals

New research has revealed that air pollution can make a person depressed.

According to international media, a recent study published in Environmental Science and Ecotechnology has revealed that going outdoors can increase the chances of depression when exposed to air pollution.

A study by Chinese Harbin University and British Cranfield University included an analysis of 12,000 different people.

The study has shown that sulfur dioxide has emerged as the most polluting element that causes an increase in depression.

In addition, carbon monoxide also plays a role in this regard.

The research further suggests that improvements can be made by reducing the elements that cause air pollution to improve mental health.
