摘要

Purpose of Review

This review aims to summarize the latest evidence on how climate change has altered the environmental exposures and their influence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and outcomes of interstitial lung diseases (ILD).

Summary

Rising global temperatures are exacerbating environmental threats (like heatwaves, floods, and dust storms) and worsening air quality. This burden disproportionately affects certain vulnerable groups, accelerating the decline of their ILD. Epigenetic modifications play a vital role in explaining the interaction between the environmental factors and development and progression of ILD. Establishment of strong policies is critical for both reducing the rate of climate change and implementing better adaptation strategies to protect the vulnerable group from its ongoing consequences.
