Genetic evidence for the causal effects of air pollution on the risk of respiratory diseases
Our findings suggest that exposure to air pollutants may play a causal role in the development of respiratory diseases, with a potential role of epigenomic modifications emphasized. Strengthening comprehensive air pollution regulations by relevant authorities could potentially mitigate the risk of these diseases.
