Published Date: Oct 5, 2017

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Experimental evidence and preliminary clinical evidence suggest that environmental air pollution adversely effects kidney health. Previous work has examined the association between fine particulate matter and risk of kidney disease; however, the association between ambient coarse particulate matter (PM; ≤10 μm in aerodynamic diameter), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and carbon monoxide (CO) and risk of incident chronic kidney disease, chronic kidney disease progression, and end-stage renal disease is not clear.
