Therefore city dwellers are demented and rural dwellers aren't.

(And this says nothing about the effects of noise pollution or aesthetic pollution)

EDIT

Oh come on, it's the obvious conclusion. So discuss already.

It would be if it was only pollution but my understanding it’s pm2.5 in general. Rural areas can and do have high pm2.5. Look at the map. It could be agriculture or dust or flora.
