The associations of ambient fine particles with tuberculosis incidence and the modification effects of ambient temperature: A nationwide time-series study in China.

Ambient fine particulate matter (PM) is a major air pollutant that poses significant risks to human health. However, little is known about the association of PM with tuberculosis (TB) incidence, and whether temperature modifies the association.This study aimed to explore the association between ambient PM exposure and TB incidence in China and the modification effects of temperature.
