Swift urbanization and the industrial revolution have increased environmental pollution to a hazardous level. Environmental pollution is a leading risk factor for several well-known diseases. This book opens venues for students, physicians, researchers, the science community, and policymakers to enhance their knowledge about environmental pollution, weather conditions, climate change, and their impact on insulin resistance and mechanisms allied to Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Moreover, this book will provide knowledge about the green space environment and its impact on T2DM.
Moreover, this book will provide knowledge about the green space environment and its impact on T2DM.
- Offers unique scientific information, facts, and figures about environmental pollution and T2DM
- Highlights the air pollution condition of different countries on various continents and mechanisms allied to developing T2DM
- Provides information about countries highly polluted and countries less polluted, along with the epidemiological trends of T2DM
