Air pollution increases the risk of diabetes

Air pollution, even at levels considered safe, increases the risk of diabetes, according to a recent survey.

The findings of a study conducted by Ziyad Al-Aly, an adjunct professor at the University of Washington Medical School, St. Louis, suggest that air pollution plays an important role in the development of diabetes.

The results of the research, published this week in the journal The Lancet PlanetaryHealth, ] raise the possibility that reducing pollution may lead to a decline in diabetes cases in heavily contaminated countries, such as l & # 39; India.

"This is important because many industry lobbyists say that current levels are too stringent and should be relaxed.The evidence shows that current levels are not yet safe enough and need to be adjusted" said Al-Aly.
