Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), yet responsible chemical constituents and the biological basis of susceptibility remain unclear, limiting source-targeted regulation and precision prevention in vulnerable populations. We examined PM2.5 components - liver outcomes associations in youth, assessed...
