Air pollution and dynamic transitions of preserved ratio impaired spirometry in UK Biobank
Findings reveal that higher levels of PM<sub>10</sub> exposure are linked to an increased risk of PRISm progression, while exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, and NO<sub>x</sub> is associated with a reduced likelihood of spirometry recovery to normal levels. These findings offer new insights into potential health benefits resulting from interventions targeting air pollution.
