Observational analysis shows reduced physical function scores in older adults with increased PM2.5 and O3 exposure, indicating health risks.

Each 10-µg/m³ increase in PM2.5 exposure was linked to a decline of 0.561 points in physical function scores.
Similarly, a 10-µg/m³ increase in O3 exposure resulted in a decline of 1.154 points in physical function scores.
Stratified analyses revealed weakened effects of PM2.5 and O3 at higher co-pollutant levels compared to lower levels.
Despite an overall impact, no additive interactive effects of PM2.5 and O3 co-exposure were identified across populations.

Tan et al. (2025) studied this question.
