You can buy air filter/purifiers for air pollution.
You can avoid plastic to some degree.
You can't isolate all noise factors, especially low-freq vibrations.
Try sleeping in an area where road noise occurs 24/7. Sleep deprivation is a huge health modifier.
"Not paying attention to X because Y is more important"
Most people don't give a shit about Y, when X isn't fixed for them, they see X as far more immediate/important problem: its like telling an african tribe that cooked for thousands of years with wood that you can't burn wood from tropical forest for cooking because its causes Global Warming.

It's cheaper and easier to address noise pollution than air pollution: a pair of foam earplugs is a lot cheaper than an indoor air purifier. > Try sleeping in an area where road noise occurs 24/7. I admit I've never done that, but this seems like an unfairly extreme comparison. The same challenge can be posed for air pollution: try sleeping in an area where the air is bad enough to impact your sleep quality.

Not everyone has the luxury of living in quiet suburbs and far from traffic. > try sleeping in an area where the air is bad enough to impact your sleep quality. Thats why i have an air purifier and windows closed for most of the week.
