Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and circulating white blood cell homeostasis among adults in China: Time-window-specific associations and the mediating role of fasting blood glucose.
Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution perturbs white blood cell (WBC) homeostasis through inflammatory pathways. However, its pollutant- and time-window-specific, mixture-related associations with WBC counts, and whether metabolic dysfunction mediates them, remain uncertain. We conducted a retrospective cohort st...
