Background
China periodically has severe ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution, which could cause compromised pulmonary immunity in the population and result in high cardio-respiratory morbidity and mortality. Acknowledging the highly prevalent latent tuberculosis in elderly people, we hypothesise that they are more prone to tuberculosis reactivation in the presence of air pollution.
