Reply to comment by Dapaaads 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

No medicines that reduce inflammation can reduce pollutant-induced inflammation?

Think about inflammation as being on a continuous line and everyone has a certain level of it. There are many things that will increase (e.g., air pollution, stress) or decrease (e.g., meditation, sleep) the level of inflammation. Even if there isn't anything that can be done to mitigate air pollutants once they're in the body, meditation would still be good to keep the overall inflammation from being as high as it could be.

You would need anti-inflammatory foods, liver cleansing and heart-kidney-brain supporting diet and herbs (crush/powdered, tincture), as well as breathing meditation exercises, to begin to mitigate particulate damage. Also good letter and lobbying skills, to politely tell politicians to quit being rat bastards in league with toxic corporations.
