Exposure to polluted air, specifically fine pollution particles (PM2.5), is linked to an increased risk of type-2 diabetes, according to a study conducted in Delhi and Chennai, India. The study, which analyzed over 12,000 participants, found that inhaling air with high levels of PM2.5 led to high blood sugar levels and increased diabetes incidence. The research highlights the need for region-specific policies to reduce air pollution and combat the high burden of diabetes in India.
