School of Public Health, Suzhou Medical College, Soochow University, China Association of long-term exposure to various ambient air pollutants, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition with incident cognitive impairment and dementia https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38225615/
Conclusions: Exposure to air pollution was found to be a significant contributing factor to cognitive impairment and dementia, and this association was not easily modified by an individual's genetic predisposition. However, adopting a healthy lifestyle may help to manage the risk of cognitive decline related to air pollution.
The risk of dementia was higher in MS and NMOSD patients than in the general population and the dementia risk in MS patients was higher than in NMOSD subjects. Therefore, clinicians should be vigilant regarding cognitive impairment in patients with MS and NMOSD. Furthermore, it is important for clinicians to consider potential causes of dementia beyond MS/NMOSD itself, as preventive and therapeutic approaches vary depending on the underlying etiology. Further investigations should be performed to determine the pathophysiology of increased risk of AD or vascular dementia in MS and NMOSD patients.
2024 Feb 15 Joint Exposure to Multiple Air Pollutants, Genetic Susceptibility, and Incident Dementia: A Prospective Analysis in the UK Biobank Cohort https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38426188/
Conclusion: Our study provides evidence that joint exposure to multiple air pollutants substantially increases the risk of dementia, especially among individuals with high genetic susceptibility.

Division of Population Health Research, Department of Precision Medicine, Korea National Institute of Health, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency Association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and biomarkers indicative of inflammation and oxidative stress: a cross-sectional study using KoGES-HEXA data https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38494707/
Conclusions: Short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants may induce oxidative damage and pro-inflammatory roles, together with counter-regulatory anti-inflammatory response.

Cancer Big Data Center, National Cancer Control Institute, National Cancer Center, South Korea Association of ambient air pollution with hemoglobin levels and anemia in the general population of Korean adults https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38594672/
Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence that long-term exposure to air pollution, especially PM10, is significantly associated with reduced hemoglobin levels and anemia in the general adult population.
2024 Apr 17 Joint Effects of Indoor Air Pollution and Maternal Psychosocial Factors During Pregnancy on Trajectories of Early Childhood Psychopathology https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38634620/
Conclusions: Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants and psychosocial factors was associated with internalizing and externalizing child behavior trajectories. Understanding joint effects of adverse exposure mixtures will facilitate targeted interventions to prevent childhood psychopathology.
2024 Apr 2 Association between short- and medium-term exposure to air pollutants and depressive episode using comprehensive air quality index among the population in South Korea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38574871/
..Conclusions: Short- and medium-term exposure of air pollution may be associated with an increased risk of depressive episodes, especially for cold season.

Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment, United States Environmental Protection Agency, USA Associations between long-term exposure to air pollution and kidney function utilizing electronic healthcare records: a cross-sectional study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38654228/
Conclusions: One-year average PM2.5 was associated with reduced eGFRcr, while O3 and NO2 were inversely associated. Neither PM2.5 or O3 were associated with a first-time identification of CKD, NO2 was inversely associated. We recommend future research examining the relationship between air pollution and impaired renal function.

Taipei European School, Taipei, Taiwan An ecological analysis of associations between ambient air pollution and cancer incidence rates in Taiwan https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38565820/
....Altogether, the results from this ecological study unravel that exposure to ambient air pollution is associated with the incidence of several non-lung cancer types.
