>PMs from auto emissions are elevated within 1,000 feet (300 meters) of a major highway. A Denver study indicated that children living roughly within that distance were eight times as likely to develop leukemia and six times as vulnerable to all types of cancer. In another study, children under 5 years of age admitted to hospitals with asthma emergencies were significantly more likely to live within 500 meters (1,640 feet) of a major highway when traffic flow exceeded 24,000 vehicles per hour than those who lived further away or when traffic flow was less. Particle levels return to near normal beyond that distance.
>A 2009 Study found that ultra-fine particulate concentration in the aircan extend 1.5 MILES downwind of a freeway, particularly in the hours before sunrise.

>The area most affected, they concluded, was roughly the band within 0.2 to 0.3 miles (300 to 500 meters) of the highway.
>ADULTS living closer to the road—within 300 meters—may risk DEMENTIA. In 2017, a study of residents of Ontario, Canada, found that those who lived close to heavy traffic had a higher risk of dementia. Researchers found the strongest association among those who lived closest to the roads (less than 50 meters), who had never moved and who lived in major cities. A study of older men in 2011 also found that long-term exposure to traffic pollution increased their risk of having poor cognition

You can download a spreadsheet for your area. Sadly, most places are unacceptable. Only a handful of locations are actually within healthy limits.

<=5.0 micrograms/meter cubed is acceptable. Have fun living in the middle of nowhere just to have barely acceptable air quality. Cars ruined everything. Even the least polluted cities(Portland, Seattle, Boston) are 8-10+ micrograms/meter cubed, which will definitely lower cognitive performance according to the current body of evidence.

same applies to CO2, there is evidence that even slightly increased levels such as 500 ppm measurably decrease intelligence

we are about to hit over 500 ppm this century

That's not what it says at all.
PM2.5 practically removes BDNF. You require BDNF to learn/form memories. It causes inflammation in the brain as well, leading to dementia. This has shown from exercising in an urban area, compared to exercising in a rural area, a climate controlled room with pristine air, and a room with high PM2.5. BDNF serum level does not increase as it is supposed to when exposed to PM2.5.
It has shown to decrease cognitive ability immediately during and after exposure as well. This is after acute exposure from a candle in the room. It is not only after chronic exposure for years.
Everyone here cares so much about preserving/increasing their IQ and cognitive ability, yet breathe polluted air all day which is destroying them by itself. The effects magnify as you age, which is why intelligent people are still intelligent and lucid in old age, while morons deteriorate rapidly by old age.

Up to this point it sounded like you might know what you were talking about.

Air pollution has almost nothing to do with drop in IQ. Prime example is Hawaii.
