Association between long-term exposure to PM2.5 and thyroid nodules in school-aged children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study in Eastern China
Our findings demonstrated that long-term exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> was associated with a higher prevalence of thyroid nodules in children and adolescents. Strategies that consistently reduce PM<sub>2.5</sub> pollution levels to ease the burden of non-communicable diseases have important public health implications.
