Background: It is widely known that the harmful effects of fine dust can cause various diseases. Research on the correlation between fine dust and health has been mainly focused on lung and cardiovascular diseases. By contrast, the effects of air pollution on the central nervous system (CNS) are not broadly recognized.Findings: Air pollution can cause diverse neurological disorders as the result of inflammation of the nervous system, oxidative stress, activation of microglial cells, protein condensation, and cerebral vascular-barrier disorders, but uncertainty remains concerning the biological mechanisms by which air pollution produces neurological disease. Neuronal cell damage caused by fine dust, especially in fetuses and infants, can cause permanent brain damage or lead to neurological disease in adulthood.Conclusion: It is necessary to study the air pollution–CNS disease connection with particular care and commitment. Moreover, the epidemiological and experimental study of the association between exposure to air pollution and CNS damage is critical to public health and quality of life. Here, we summarize the correlations between fine dust exposure and neurological disorders reported so far and make suggestions on the direction future research should take.

“…PM 2.5 is a very important component of ambient air pollution, and motor vehicle emissions are one of the most important PM 2.5 sources. PM 2.5 is recognized as a significant contributor to air quality-related health outcomes due to its small size and its ability to invade the respiratory and vascular systems (Heydari et al 2019;Nabizadeh et al 2019). In order to prevent the health outcomes, WHO has recommended annual 25-μg/m 3 and 24hour (10 μg/m 3 ) standard limit for PM 2.5 concentration in ambient air (Yunesian et al 2019).…”

Epidemiological evidence for the link between long-term exposure to air particulate matter (PM 2.5) and occurrence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is limited such that little is known about the effect of PM 2.5 exposure and adult T2D prevalence. Thus, the aim of this ecological study is to evaluate the contribution of ambient PM 2.5 exposure to the adult T2D prevalence in the large population of Iran. The study was conducted based on Iran's large-scale cross-sectional surveilling non-communicable diseases (NCDs) risk factors (Timpka et al. 2015b). A total of 31,050 participants were enrolled in three sequential processes of study using cluster random sampling. PM 2.5 data in the urban area of 31 provinces of Iran were acquired from Tehran Air Quality Control Company (AQCC) and the Department of Environment (DoE) of Iran during 2012-2016. Moreover, major and minor diabetes risk factors were considered; the Pearson correlation and a stepwise regression model were performed to estimate associations between risk factors and diabetes and prediabetes prevalence. The results showed T2D prevalence was more frequent among women (10.61%) than men (9.35%). A weak positive correlation was observed between PM 2.5 level and diabetes prevalence with a correlation coefficient of 0.275, although there was no significant association between PM 2.5 value and prediabetes prevalence. Moreover, none of the variables included in the regression model could predict the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes. According to our study results, it can be suggested that investigating the association between PM 2.5 exposure and T2D prevalence at individual level may provide a better understanding of PM 2.5 exposure and the risk of T2D prevalence.
