I've not seen air pollution mentioned yet. We've passed peak air pollution and generally research keeps revealing it to be worse than we thought for a variety of diseases you might not immediately link it to, like heart disease and stroke.
Some of the research on gas stove pollution noticed an uptick in problems for women and linked it to them being closest to poorly operating kitchen burners (and burning food particles themselves might be a factor).

Glancing at the data for the US this seems to go the opposite direction, ramping to a peak in the 60-70s when I'd assume most damage in early years and/or working age.
Though perhaps local and widespread air pollution are not following the same trajectory.

I can't find a quote but one trivia bit from 'diesel gate' is that the execs were aware of the neurotoxicity of NO2 and other substances that were found in higher concentration in diesel exhaust.
