Long-term exposure to black carbon and incident asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults: The Danish Nurse Cohort
We observed that BC is an independent risk factor for developing chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, and BC may play a more significant role than PM<sub>2.5</sub>. This underscored the need for targeted air quality regulations to reduce BC emissions, which may have a greater impact on mitigating the burden of chronic respiratory diseases than focusing solely on PM<sub>2.5</sub>.
