Long-term low-level ozone exposure and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and glycemic levels: A prospective cohort study from Southwest China
This study provides robust evidence that even long-term exposure to low-level O<sub>3</sub>, below the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline value, is significantly associated with increased T2DM incidence and elevated FBG levels. These findings stress the need for stricter air pollution control measures to reduce the incident T2DM caused by long-term low-level O<sub>3</sub> exposure and enhance public health protections.
