A growing body of literature supports the association between ambient particulate pollution and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Both issues are particularly relevant in Italy. This study investigates the relationship between T2DM and exposure to ...
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) from solid-fuel combustion is a major determinant of global morbidity and mortality. However, variations in exposure remain uncertain across many high-risk populations. This work describes personal PM exposure...
BACKGROUND: Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are classified as important endocrine disruptors and persistent organic pollutants; nevertheless, there is no comprehensive investigation to evaluate the association between BFRs and hyperuricemia, and t...
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects approximately 697.5 million people worldwide. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emerging as potential risk factors, but their complex relationships with CKD may be underestimated by traditional lin...
BACKGROUND: Plastic-containing medical devices are commonly used in critical care units and other patient care settings. Patients are often exposed to xenobiotic agents that are leached out from plastic-containing medical devices, including bisphenol...
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with increasing prevalence worldwide. Air pollution may be a major contributor to the rise in ASD cases. This study investigated how the risk of ASD associated with prenatal...

Particulate matter (PM) is a recognized carcinogen, but the effects of PM on liver cancer remain underexplored. This study investigates the long-term association between PM and liver cancer mortality, as well as the contribution of smaller particles ...
BACKGROUND: Evidence about the health effects of ultrafine particles (UFPs) remains limited, especially due to challenges in estimating exposure in epidemiological studies.
