AB  - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Despite a call for better understanding of the role of 
      environmental pollutant influences on mental health and the tremendous public 
      health burden of mental health, this issue receives far less attention than many 
      other effects of pollutants. Here we summarize the body of literature on 
      non-occupational environmental pollutant exposures and adult depression, anxiety, 
      and suicide-in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and PsychINFO through the end of 
      year 2018. RECENT FINDINGS: One hundred twelve articles met our criteria for 
      further review. Of these, we found 88 articles on depression, 33 on anxiety, and 
      22 on suicide (31 articles covered multiple outcomes). The earliest article was 
      published in 1976, and the most frequent exposure of interest was air pollution 
      (n = 33), followed by secondhand smoke (n = 20), metals (n = 18), noise (n = 17), 
      and pesticides (n = 10). Other exposures studied less frequently included 
      radiation, magnetic fields, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), volatile 
      organic compounds, solvents, and reactive sulfur compounds. The current 
      literature, although limited, clearly suggests many kinds of environmental 
      exposures may be risk factors for depression, anxiety, and suicide. For several 
      pollutants, important limitations exist with many of the studies. Gaps in the 
      body of research include a need for more longitudinal, life-course studies, 
      studies that can measure cumulative exposures as well as shorter-term exposures, 
      studies that reduce the possibility of reverse causation, and mechanistic studies 
      focused on neurotoxic exposures.
