Adverse Associations of Long-Term Exposure to PM_2.5 and Its Components with Platelet Traits among Subway Shift-Workers without Air Purifier Use.

ABSTRACT: Air purifier use, shift work, and long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) are linked to platelet abnormality. However, the role of air purifier use and shift work in the individual or joint associations of PM_2.5 and its components with platelet indices are largely unknown. A total of 8772 participants were recruited from a population of subway workers in China. PM_2.5 and its component data were obtained from the Tracking Air Pollution in China dataset. The role of air purifier use and shift work in the association between PM_2.5 and its components and platelet indices were analyzed. Among shift workers without air purifier use, positive associations of PM_2.5 and each component in PM_2.5 with the mean platelet vol
