    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Air pollution is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the effect of air pollution on HCC risk in patients with hepatitis remains unclear. METHODS: This cross-sectional study recruited 348 patients with chronic hepatitis who were tested for serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and for antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen (HBcIgG) and hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) in 2022. The diagnosis of HCC was based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10 th revision (ICD-10). Daily estimates of air pollutants were aggregated into mean estimates for the previous year based on the date of recruitment or HCC diagnosis. RESULTS: Out of 348 patients, twelve had HCC (3.4%). Patients with HCC were older (71.7 years vs 50.9 year; p=0.004), had higher proportion of HBsAg seropositivity (41.7% vs 5.1%; p<0.001), and substantially higher levels of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) (21.5 μg/m 3 vs 18.2 μg/m 3; p=0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the factors associated with HCC were age (OR: 1.10; CI: 1.03-1.17; p=0.01), PM2.5 level (OR: 1.51; CI: 1.02-2.23; p=0.04), and HBsAg seropositivity (OR: 6.60; CI: 1.51-28.85; p=0.01). There was a combined effect of PM2.5 and HBsAg seropositivity on the risk of HCC development (OR: 22.17; CI: 3.33-147.45; p=0.001). CONCLUSION: In this study, we demonstrated that PM2.5 and HBsAg seropositivity were associated with HCC occurrence and had synergistic effects after adjusting for confounding factors.
