It's not the density that is the problem. It's the cars. If we could reduce car use in these densely-packed cities, we'd find that the air and noise pollution would drop dramatically.
Further, people who live in cities tend to be healthier than those that don't. Driving everywhere and constantly being in traffic is not good for you mentally or physically.
