Influence of Gaseous Pollutants on COPD Exacerbations in Patients with Cardiovascular Comorbidities.

In conclusion, the study demonstrates a salient influence of a co-existing cardiovascular malady on the appearance of COPD-related respiratory exacerbations when the pollutant SO2 and NOx contents rose. In contrast, higher O3 content was associated with a lower risk of COPD exacerbation. PMID: 29679365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
