Reply to comment by Wagamaga in Air pollutants have been confirmed to increase the risk of Alzheimer's dementia. Air pollutants enter the lungs through the respiratory tract and cause inflammation, which causes various diseases throughout the body, especially the inflammation of nerves when it reaches the brain. by Wagamaga

If your environment is polluted on the outside of the home, could using air filters within your own home help with that at all?

You can theoretically scrub the air entering your home. But then you would need to spend the majority of time inside your home to mitigate risk amd being a shut in has its own health consequences. It's probably better to move somewhere with less pollution.

Sure, if you can afford to move. If not, you can also wear a mask outside your home. Many people do.
