Ambient air pollution, and especially particulate matter (PM) air pollution< 2.5 μm in
diameter (PM 2.5), has clearly emerged as an important yet often overlooked risk factor for …

Aims Little is known about the relation between the long-term joint exposure to various
ambient air pollutants and the incidence of heart failure (HF). We aimed to assess the joint …

Polygenic diseases, which are genetic disorders caused by the combined action of multiple
genes, pose unique and significant challenges for the diagnosis and management of …

Background Recent studies suggest potential interactions of air pollutants with dietary
factors and genetic susceptibility on mortality risk; however, evidence from prospective …

To date, no study has explored the extent to which genetic susceptibility modifies the effects
of air pollutants on the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study was designed to investigate …

Air pollution has consistently been associated with cardiometabolic outcomes, although
associations with obesity have only been recently reported. Studies of air pollution and …

An increasing number of studies examined the potential effects of PM 1 (submicronic
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 1 μm) on the risk of respiratory diseases; …

Abstract Background and Aims Air pollutants are important contributors to cardiovascular
diseases, but associations between long-term exposure to air pollutants and the risk of …

The development and outcome of inflammatory diseases are associated with genetic and
lifestyle factors, which include chemical and nonchemical stressors. Persistent organic …

Abstract Changes in gene expression in lung epithelial cells are detected in cancer tissues
during exposure to pollutants, highlighting the importance of gene‐environmental …
