Air pollution and its effects on population health are currently among the most important public issues. It is well established that impact of air exceedingly high, although it ignores real scope aging process because studies quality have largely focused younger age groups. Herein, we emphasize relevance to behavioral process, taking into account place residence - rural or urban. We raise following question: Can residential settings modulate cognitive, emotional social behaviors during aging? Some analyzed role in context a frame elderly people. Based literature, this revision concluded pollutants affect cognitive function, increasing risk dementia as depression anxiety responses. In addition, networks inclusion can mitigate observed areas exposed less contamination. Although there no consensus, seems some sex-dependent, women more vulnerable pollution. Additionally, examined why older adults Particulate Matter (PM) exposure highlighted importance context. Environmental agents could be key understanding susceptibility variability symptoms. decline related increased age, not manipulated factor. Efforts should centered locating factors implicated susceptible manipulation variation, such choice breathing. Given significant societal PM, research policy regulations closely aligned collaborative.
