Background Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is an important environmental risk factor for
cardiopulmonary diseases. However, the association between PM 2.5 and risk of CKD …

Rationale & Objective Increasing evidence has linked ambient fine particulate matter (ie,
particulate matter no larger than 2.5 μm [PM 2.5]) to chronic kidney disease (CKD), but their …

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious global public health challenge, but
there is limited information on the connection between air pollution and risk of CKD …

Many countries have dedicated to the mitigation of air pollution in the past several decades.
However, evidence of beneficial effects of air quality improvement on chronic kidney disease …

Background Recent evidence has shown that fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) may be an
important environmental risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but few studies have …

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 …

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 …

Background Limited studies have examined the impact of airborne particulate matter of 2.5
μm or less (PM 2.5) on renal function. No study has examined the effect of PM 1, which is …

Background Ambient PM2. 5 is a ubiquitous air pollutant with demonstrated adverse health
impacts in population. Hemodialysis patients are a highly vulnerable population and may be …

Few cohort studies explored the long-term effects of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
on incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), especially in countries with higher levels of …
