A recent study has found a significant link between air pollution and mental health, particularly in urban areas.

The study was conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Delhi, looked at data from more than 10,000 individuals living in major cities across India.

The researchers found that those who were exposed to air pollution were more likely to experience mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

The effects were most pronounced in women and younger individuals but were also seen in men and older people.

The study's lead author, Dr. Rajesh Gupta , said that the findings highlight the need for urgent action to reduce air pollution in India's cities.

The study's findings are supported by previous research that has shown a link between air pollution and mental health.

The Indian government has recently announced plans to tackle air pollution, including measures to reduce emissions from vehicles and industrial sources
