Abstract

Background: Air pollution has attracted widespread attention due to its negative effects on public health. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a type of air pollutant present in many countries. Neurological disorders are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems that cause great economic and societal burden.

Methods: We use systematic review and metaanalysis to examine the associations among PM2.5 exposure and several of the most common neurological disorders.

Results: Our results show significant associations between PM2.5 exposure and stroke, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and autism spectrum disorder.

Conclusion: Our metaanalysis shows the associations between air pollution and public health. Such reliable and comprehensive data shed light on the influence of air pollution on human health.
