Ambient sulfur dioxide and daily outpatient visits for allergic conjunctivitis: a multi-city time-stratified case-crossover study in China
This is the largest study in China to demonstrate that short-term SO<sub>2</sub> exposure increases the risk of AC. Our findings emphasize that reducing SO<sub>2</sub> pollution is important to protect ocular health and provide insights for future standards and policies.
