Particulate matter (PM) has been found to damage vital body organs, including the lungs
and heart, through vascular damage and oxidative stress. Recently, renal function and …

In the past several decades, a lot of attention was focused on individual-level risk factors for
kidney disease, and for so long the relationship between environmental exposures and …

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2. 5) has been reported to increase the risks of
chronic kidney disease. However, limited research has assessed the effect of PM 2.5 and its …

Emerging epidemiologic studies suggested that particulate matter (PM) was a risk factor for
the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, few studies were conducted to …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) has been reported to be associated with increased
risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) …

Elevated levels of fine particulate matter< 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter (PM 2.5) are
associated with increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes and death, but their association …

Results Baseline mean participant age was 63 (±6) years and eGFR was 86 (±16) ml/min
per 1.73 m 2. There was no significant PM 2.5-eGFR association at baseline. Each 1-μg/m 3 …

Background Particulate matter exposure is associated with respiratory and cardiovascular
system dysfunction. Recently, we demonstrated that fine particles, also named PM 2.5 …

Background Accumulating studies have linked ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution to
impaired kidney function, but the results are still inconsistent and the effect of particulate …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem associated with high rates
of morbidity and mortality due to end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease. Safe …
