The association of air pollution with new‐onset epilepsy
PM<sub>2.5</sub> and O<sub>3</sub> may be associated with an increased risk of new-onset epilepsy. We also observed a negative association for NO<sub>2</sub>. However, residual confounding may have occurred. Future research should continue exploring the associations between specific air pollutants and new-onset epilepsy.
