Numerous investigations have indicated a correlation between air pollution (AP) and an elevated ischemic stroke (IS) likelihood. The existing literature does not provide a consensus about the possible link between AP and IS.

Furthermore, the mediating impact of inflammatory factors was also performed by a two-step MR.
