The impact of air pollutants on the risk of goiter based on a 9-year time series data
This time-series study suggested that long-term exposure to air pollutions may be associated with an increased risk of thyroid diseases, especially NO<sub>2</sub> and CO have a greater impact on goiter than PM. These associations were stronger for patients more than 45 years old and during the autumn, especially for women. These findings suggest the importance of reducing air pollutant concentrations and protecting the environment.
