Ambient Air Pollution and Hospitalizations for Schizophrenia in China
This case-crossover study of the association between ambient air pollution increases and schizophrenia hospitalizations provides novel evidence that short-term increases in ambient air pollution levels were positively associated with an elevated risk of schizophrenia episodes. Future schizophrenia prevention practices should pay additional attention to APINs, especially sustained increases in air pollution levels for longer durations, besides the absolute air pollution concentrations.
