Samaritans, the Royal College of Psychiatrists and a University of Bristol epidemiologist welcomed the research's attention to environmental risk factors but stressed the study does not prove air pollution causes suicidal behaviour, given confounding factors like deprivation and urban living.
“If air pollution is not actually a cause of increased risk of suicide then reducing pollution will not help to prevent suicide. The authors do not acknowledge this when drawing their conclusions.”
