Impact of air pollution on lung function in cystic fibrosis over a decade in London: a UK CF Registry study
This study provides novel evidence of the detrimental impact of air pollution on lung function in people with CF. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing air pollution as a modifiable risk factor to improve long-term outcomes of people with CF, and the need for national studies of the impact of environmental factors on CF in the UK.
