TIME, 22 February 2016
Exposure to air pollution was shown to increase the risk of obesity and diabetes according to a new study, which shows increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels caused by exposure to polluted air. Researchers from Duke University said that if the same metabolic dysfunction were confirmed to occur in humans, as in lab rats exposed to polluted air, the findings will support the urgent need to reduce air pollution, given the growing burden of obesity in today’s highly polluted world.
