Air pollution attitudes and behaviors and perceived air pollution were all positive drivers of physical discomfort, anxiety disorder, depression, interpersonal interaction, physical-mental health. Second, perceived air pollution influenced exercise behaviors. Perceived air pollution predicted perceived exercise benefit and exercise behaviors. Air pollution attitudes were related to self-efficacy, social support, perceived exercise benefit, and exercise behaviors. Air pollution behaviors were associated with social support, perceived exercise benefit, movement disorder, and exercise behaviors. Third, exercise behaviors influenced physical-mental health. Perceived exercise benefit was related to physical discomfort. Movement disorder was associated with physical discomfort, anxiety disorder, depression, interpersonal interaction, and physical-mental health. Exercise behaviors have an influence on anxiety disorder, interpersonal interaction, and physical-mental health. Fourth, exercise behaviors didn't mediate the perceived air pollution- physical-mental health relationship. Practical suggestions are also provided. The government should promote that the citizens pay attention to the importance of preventing the air pollution. Additionally, they should provide some programs that the citizens incline to involve exercise behaviors and remind that the citizens focus on their physical-mental health.
