Ambient air pollution exposures and risk of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Few epidemiological studies have explored the effects of air pollution on the risk of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). ⋯ Our finding suggest that exposure to ambient air pollution (PM2.5, PM10, O3, and CO) are associated with increased risk of DR-TB. We provided epidemiological evidence of association between pollution exposure and mono-, poly- and multi-drug resistance.
