“…One study found that long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide was associated with an increased risk of poor sleep quality 28 . Both short- and long-term exposure to NO 2 was associated with increased AHI, and this effect was caused by periods of rapid eye movement 35 . Therefore, it is worth exploring how urban air pollution affects sleep.…”

“…All the exposure data for the participants were calculated backward from the time of visiting the sleep centre. This study used an adjusted form of a previously reported estimation approach for air pollutant exposure values, which were determined using the data from the nearest station 22. Specifically, in this method, we employed the data obtained from air pollution monitoring stations situated within a 3 km radius of the homes of the participants; these stations were considered to be neighbouring stations.…”

Next, as shown in online supplemental figure S1, weights were assigned to these selected stations based on the distances between the stations and the participants' homes; then, the weighted average of daily exposure levels was computed.…”

“…We used data from 16 stations and excluded those from the other 3 stations because 1 was located in a national park and the other 2 were background stations. To estimate exposure to air pollutants, we used an adjusted method that was proposed in another study and considered data from the nearest station (17). In the present study, only stations located within 3 km of a patient's residential address were selected.…”
