The association between short-term ozone exposure and fasting blood glucose levels in non-diabetic adults was more obvious in rural residents: the evidence from a typical “urban–rural dual structure” province in southwestern China
Ambient ozone (O3) is associated with diabetes (DM), but the data on the association between O3 and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in non-diabetic adults is relatively rare, especially the evidence of urban–rural di...
