Description

Highlights: • Season-dependent associations between short term exposure to NO2 and O3 and risk of MS relapses were observed. • Confirmation of PM10-associated risk of MS relapses. • A multi-pollutant approach should be systematically intended, especially when assessing level of PM10 and NO2. • Individual characteristics should be considered alongside other MS relapses risk factors. Triggers of multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses are essentially unknown. PM10 exposure has recently been associated with an increased risk of relapses.
