Air Pollution Not Just Bad For Your Lungs, University of Southern California Study
Exposure to air pollution for just a month or two may still be enough to increase the risk of developing diabetes, especially for obese people, a recent U.S. study suggests.
Researchers studied more than 1,000 Mexican-Americans living in southern California and found short-term exposure to contaminated air was linked to an increased risk of high cholesterol and impaired processing of blood sugar – risk factors for diabetes.
Scientists aren’t exactly sure how air pollution might lead to diabetes.
