Association between long-term exposure to environmental coarse particulate matter and the prevalence of thyroid disorders: a cross-sectional study in China.
Long-term PM10 exposure was associated with higher odds of overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis, and TgAb positivity among Chinese adults, suggesting that coarse particulate pollution may be a modifiable environmental factor related to hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmunity.
