Abstract | Air pollution has been associated with respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung malignancies. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the current data on the possible association between air pollution and interstitial lung disease (ILD). There are multiple studies showing the association of ILD with air pollution but the mechanism remains unclear. Although some of the environmental factors have been associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), and pneumoconiosis, data about other ILDs are scarce and not well known. Air pollution as an etiology for ILD may act in multiple ways, leading to disease pathogenesis or exacerbation of underlying ILD. Clinical implications of this association are manifold; limiting the exposure to poor-quality air could possibly reduce the fall in lung functions and the risk of acute exacerbations of the underlying ILD. |
