Health threat of PM2.5-bound trace elements exposure on asthma hospital admission: A time-stratified case-crossover study

Environmental pollution of trace elements has become of main concern due to the adverse effects. To estimate the impact of PM2.5-bound trace elements on human health, a time-stratified case-crossover study has been designed to examine the short-term associations between 28 elements and asthma hospit...

description Environmental pollution of trace elements has become of main concern due to the adverse effects. To estimate the impact of PM2.5-bound trace elements on human health, a time-stratified case-crossover study has been designed to examine the short-term associations between 28 elements and asthma hospitalizations from January 2019 to November 2021 in Xiamen, China. This research summarized the major components that pose health risks in different seasons and took risk assessment for different groups. We found that an inter-quartile range (IQR) increase of Ca, Fe, Mn, Pd, Si, and Ti was positively associated with the incidence of asthma in the lag of 0–4 days. In winter, the elements that predisposed the population to asthma attack were the most, such as Al, Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Pd, Si, and Ti, and these elements are at higher risk for longer periods of time. The discrepancy in risk levels and major elements of asthma diagnosis among various age groups were also found in this work. Our results provided insights into the development of specific policies to reduce the risk of asthma attacks due to exposure to PM2.5-bound trace elements.
