Gaseous Pollutants and Particulate Matter (PM) in Ambient Air and the Number of New Cases of Type 1 Diabetes in Children and Adolescents in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Table 2

The relationship between the number of new T1DM cases and the annual average concentration of PM10 and gaseous pollutants in the air in the years 2015-2016.

Parameter	β	Statistical significance
Mean annual PM10 concentration vs. the number of new T1DM cases	2.396	<0.001
Mean annual concentration of sulphur dioxide (SO2) vs. the number of new T1DM cases	2.294	<0.001
Mean annual concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) vs. the number of new T1DM cases	2.452	<0.001
Mean annual concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vs. the number of new T1DM cases	−0.010	0.1
Mean annual concentration of nitrogen oxides (NO) vs. the number of new T1DM cases	−0.728	0.1

PM₁₀: particulate matter 10 micrometers or less in diameter; T1DM: type 1 diabetes mellitus; significance ().
