Identification of shared and divergent molecular pathways linking ambient air pollutants to mortality and major chronic diseases through proteomic profiling.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 48,645 people to see how air pollution affects the body. It found a link between dirty air and higher risks of death and chronic diseases. The research shows a connection, but it does not prove that pollution causes these problems. It helps explain how pollution might harm organs like the kidneys.
