Ambient Air Pollution Exposure and Outcomes in Patients Receiving Lung Transplant
In this study, elevated zip code-level ambient PM2.5 exposure was associated with an increased hazard of death or graft failure in lung transplant recipients. Further study is needed to better understand this association, which may help guide risk modification strategies at individual and population levels.
