In recent years, an increasing number of observational studies have reported the impact air pollution on autoimmune diseases (ADs). However, no Mendelian randomization (MR) been conducted to investigate causal relationships. To enhance our understanding causality, we examined relationships between particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NO
