“…A rising number of investigations have investigated the relationships between air pollutants and TB. Positive associations were found between exposure to PM 2.5 [ 5 , 20 – 23 ], PM 10 [ 6 , 21 – 24 ], NO 2 [ 3 – 5 , 22 , 25 ], SO 2 [ 3 , 21 – 23 , 26 , 27 ], CO [ 22 , 23 ] or O 3 [ 23 ] and the risk of TB. However, some studies also found a negative association between exposure to O 3 [ 22 , 25 ], SO 2 [ 2 , 5 ] and PM 10 [ 28 ] and the risk of TB.…”

Background Short-term exposure to air pollution may trigger symptoms of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) through stimulating lung tissue, damaging tracheobronchial mucosa, the key anti-mycobacterium T cell immune function, and production and release of inflammatory cytokines. Objective To investigate the association between acute exacerbations of DR-TB and short-term residential exposure to air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO and O3) based on a large prospective cohort in Anhui Province, China. Method Patients were derived from a prospective cohort study of DR-TB in Anhui Province. All DR-TB patients underwent drug-susceptibility testing and prefecture-level reference laboratories confirmed their microbiologies. The case-crossover design was performed to evaluate the association between the risk of acute exacerbations of DR-TB and short-term residential exposure to air pollution. Results Short-term NO2 exposure was significantly related to an elevated risk of first-time outpatient visit due to acute exacerbations of DR-TB(relative risk:1.159, 95% confidence interval:1.011 ~ 1.329). Stratification analyses revealed that the relationship between the risk of acute exacerbations and NO2 exposure was stronger in the elderly (age ≥ 65) DR-TB patients, and in individuals with a history of TB treatment. Conclusions NO2 Exposure was significantly associated with an elevated risk of acute exacerbation of DR-TB in Anhui Province, China.

“…For example, extended exposure to elevated temperature can decrease the production of antigen-specific CD8 + T cells and antibodies [ 29 ]. However, excess disease risk associated with air pollutants and meteorological factors can be complex, as evident from a study that found that excess risk for TB was positively associated with NO 2 level and windspeed; negatively correlated with O 3 level, temperature, and relative humidity; and was not detectably associated with PM 2.5 or SO 2 concentration or sunshine duration [ 30 ].…”

Improved sanitation, increased access to health care, and advances in preventive and clinical medicine have reduced the mortality and morbidity rates of several infectious diseases. However, recent outbreaks of several emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) have caused substantial mortality and morbidity, and the frequency of these outbreaks is likely to increase due to pathogen, environmental, and population effects driven by climate change. Extreme or persistent changes in temperature, precipitation, humidity, and air pollution associated with climate change can, for example, expand the size of EID reservoirs, increase host–pathogen and cross-species host contacts to promote transmission or spillover events, and degrade the overall health of susceptible host populations leading to new EID outbreaks. It is therefore vital to establish global strategies to track and model potential responses of candidate EIDs to project their future behaviour and guide research efforts on early detection and diagnosis technologies and vaccine development efforts for these targets. Multi-disciplinary collaborations are demanding to develop effective inter-continental surveillance and modelling platforms that employ artificial intelligence to mitigate climate change effects on EID outbreaks. In this review, we discuss how climate change has increased the risk of EIDs and describe novel approaches to improve surveillance of emerging pathogens that pose the risk for EID outbreaks, new and existing measures that could be used to contain or reduce the risk of future EID outbreaks, and new methods to improve EID tracking during further outbreaks to limit disease transmission.
