Abstract
BACKGROUND: Air pollution, including particulate matter smaller than 10 (PM
METHODS: In this case-control study, using a large national pathology database of esophageal biopsies, EoE cases were defined by having biopsies with ≥15 eosinophils per high-powered field in the absence of other histopathologic causes. Controls were all other patients with esophageal biopsies. Patient residential addresses were geocoded and exposure to PM
RESULTS: Among 12,062 EoE cases and 229,397 non-EoE controls, the unadjusted OR for PM
DISCUSSION: Exposure to higher levels of PM
