Fine particulate matter components and reproductive hormones in female adults: A 15-year longitudinal cohort study
Our study highlighted the adverse impacts of long-term exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> components on hormonal homeostasis, revealing the biological mechanism of air pollution-reproductive health associations in females. Implementing stringent control of air pollution levels can benefit reproductive health in female adults, even in moderately polluted regions.
