Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sleep apnea (SA), a widespread disorder linked to heart disease, affects > 1 billion people globally. Although fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is suspected to worsen this condition, the specific role of individual PM2.5 constituents-how genetics might amplify their harm-remains unclear. RESEARCH QUESTION: Are long-term exposures to PM2.5 constituents (elemental carbon [EC], organic matter [OM],...
