Long-term ambient air pollution exposure and renal function and biomarkers of renal disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite accumulating evidence of an association between air pollution and renal disease, studies on the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and renal function are still contradictory. This study aimed to investigate this association in a large population with relatively low exposure and with improved estimation of renal function as well as renal injury biomarkers.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional analysis in the middle-aged general population participating in the Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImaging Study (SCAPIS; n = 30 154). Individual 10-year exposure to total and locally emitted fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM₁₀), and nitrogen oxides (NO_x) were modelled using high-resolu
