Nitrogen Dioxide

WHO updated its air quality database to include ground measurements of annual mean concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, as well as measurements of particulate matter with diameters equal to or smaller than 10 m or 2.5 m.

Researchers in China found the risk for hospital-acquired AKI increased with higher levels of ambient nitrogen dioxide, according to a retrospective cohort study in Clinical Kidney Journal.

Even small increases in nitrogen dioxide in the air may increase the risk for cardiovascular and respiratory mortality, according to new data published in The BMJ.

There was a significant correlation between childhood exposure to nitrogen dioxide and the polygenic risk score for schizophrenia, according to findings published by JAMA Network Open.
