Inflammation and acute traffic-related air pollution exposures among a cohort of youth with type 1 diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS: Indicators of inflammation were associated with estimated traffic-related air pollutant exposures in this study population of youth with type 1 diabetes. Thus youth with type 1 diabetes may be at increased risk of air pollution-related inflammation. These findings and the racial/ethnic and gender differences observed deserve further exploration.
