Smog component PM2.5 association with GDM in pregnant females: evidence from review study.

The exposure of particulate matter 2.5 micrometer (PM2.5) had relation to  gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).GDM is a type of diabetes that is diagnosed during pregnancy and caused adverse health effects on the mother and fetus.PM2.5 is a component of smog. The retrieved data from last five years demonstrate the relationship between GDM-PM2.5. For this analysis, the data considered from fifteen research articles. This research was previously conducted in polluted cities in china, Australia, America, Florida, Iran, and Texas. Increased display of particulate matter 2, 5 um in diameter was somehow associated with the risk of GDM, particularly in the second trimester and stronger in the twenty-first and twenty-fourth gestational weeks. In this study, 618,489 individuals were observed and total of 43737 females was affected with GDM. The prevalence for GDM was 7.08% and their death was not mentioned. Thus, a systematic review of the previous evidence demonstrates the association between GDM and PM2.5.
