Different genes interact with particulate matter and tobacco smoke exposure in affecting lung function decline in the general population.

Different genes interact with particulate matter and tobacco smoke exposure in affecting lung function decline in the general population.

<h4>Background</h4>Oxidative stress related genes modify the effects of ambient air pollution or tobacco smoking on lung function decline. The impact of interactions might be substantial, but previous studies mostly focused on main effects of single genes.<h4>Objectives</h4>W...
