Study on the impact of common air pollution indicators on tuberculosis incidence in high-TB-burden countries worldwide
There is a synergistic amplification of the increase in TB incidence by HAP, O<sub>3</sub>, GDP, and NO<sub>2</sub>, with low NO<sub>2</sub> concentrations, low HAP, and high O<sub>3</sub> conditions favouring TB. The incidence of TB is adversely affected by air pollution to varying degrees across countries; therefore, countries can target preventive measures to reduce the risk of TB.
