Biomarkers of particulate matter exposure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure has been strongly linked with health effects. Elevated levels of PM in polluted air have been correlated with the onset and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This systematic review was conducted to evaluate biomarkers that could reflect the effects of PM exposure in patients with COPD.

Methods

We performed a systematic review of studies published on biomarkers associated with PM exposure in patients with COPD between January 01, 2012 and June 30, 2022 in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. Studies that included data on biomarkers with COPD exposed PM were eligible for inclusion. Biomarkers were classified into 4 groups according to their mechanisms.
