Exposures to fine particulate matter PM2.5 and ozone O-3 are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Mexico City residents have lifetime exposures to PM2.5 and O-3 above annual USEPA standards and their brains contain high redox, combustion, and friction-derived magnetite nanoparticles. AD pathological changes with subcortical pre-tangle stages in infancy and cortical tau pre-tangles, NFT Stages I-II, and amyloid phases 1-2 are identified by the 2nd decade. Given their AD continuum, a reliable identification of cognitive impairment is of utmost importance. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was administered to 517 urbanites, age 21.60 +/- 5.88 years, with 13.69 +/- 1.28 formal education years, in Mexican PM2.5 polluted cities. MoCA score was 23.92 +/- 2.82, and 24.7% and 30.3% scored
