To the Editor:
The link between air pollution and autoimmune diseases is
gaining attention in the current field of environmental health
research. A recent study based on data from the UK Biobank
examined the relationship between long-term exposure to air pollution and the risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus
(SLE). The study found that long-term exposure to air pollution
was significantly associated with the development of SLE, providing new insights into the role of environmental factors in the
pathogenesis of SLE. The findings highlight the need for stricter
air quality standards to reduce potential health risks.1 In addition,
the study lays the groundwork for further research into the relationship between air pollution and other autoimmune diseases
and calls for more interdisciplinary research to understand the
complex pathomechanisms. Although this study makes an
important contribution to understanding the role of environmental
factors in the development of SLE, other methodologic limitations
not mentioned in the text need to be carefully considered when
interpreting the results.
