Every body is different.  One could be affected, another not.  Stay away from strong fumes, such as paint, hair color, nail polish.  If you want to touch up your roots, have it done in the salon to keep the fumes out of your home.  Your brain is worth the few extra $$/month.  Car exhaust and any air pollution can't help.
