Impact of long-term exposure to PM2.5 and its components on the risk of chronic lung disease in middle-aged and elderly chinese: evidence from a large Chinese population-based cohort
This prospective cohort study of middle-aged and older adults in China observed that long-term exposure to various PM<sub>2.5</sub> components increases the risk of CLD. Given the significant role of black carbon, organic matter, and sulfate in their combined harmful effects, stringent controls on the emissions of these components could help mitigate the rising prevalence of CLD among China's rapidly aging population.
