Air pollution and noncommunicable diseases A review by the forum of international respiratory societies' environmental committee, part 2: Air pollution and organ systems.

Although air pollution is well known to be harmful to the lung and airways, it can also damage
most other organ systems of the body.
Environmental exposures may increase the risk of
autoimmune diseases.
Particulate air pollution has been strongly associated with
an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality,
myocardial infarction, stroke, and hospital admission for
congestive heart failure...
Air pollution has deleterious effects on the CNS,
including impairment of cognitive function and
increased risk of dementia and stroke in older adults.
Air pollution exposure is implicated in both the
incidence and mortality of bladder cancer.
Air pollution has deleterious effects on the CNS,
including impairment of cognitive function and
increased risk of dementia and stroke in older adults.
The kidney, a highly vascular organ, is vulnerable to
both large and small vessel dysfunction and is therefore
likely to be susceptible to the oxidative stress and
systemic inflammatory effects of air pollution exposure.
The good news is that the problem of air pollution can be
addressed and ameliorated.
