Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with kidney dysfunction. However, few studies have investigated acute effects of PM2.5 elemental constituents on renal function. We evaluated associations between personal PM2.5 and its elemental constituents and kidney function, assessed by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in Biomarkers of Air Pollutants Exposure in the Chinese aged 60-69 study. Seventy one older individuals were visited monthly between September 2018 and January 2019. Each participant wore a PM2.5 monitor for 72 h, responded to a questionnaire, and underwent a physical examination with blood sampling. Linear mixed-effect models were used to estimate associations between personal PM2.5 elemental constituents and eGFR. We found that significant changes in eGFR from -1.69% [95% confidence interval (CI): -3.34%, -0.01%] to -3.27% (95% CI: -5.04%, -1.47%) were associated with interquartile range (IQR) increases in individual PM2.5 exposures at various lag periods (7-12, 13-24, 0-24, 25-48, and 49-72 h). An IQR increase in 72 h moving averages of copper, manganese, and titanium in personal PM2.5 corresponded to -2.34% (95% CI: -3.67%, -0.99%) to -4.56% (95% CI: -7.04%, -2.00%) changes in eGFR. Personal PM2.5 and some of its elemental constituents are inversely associated with eGFR in older individuals.
