There is a growing prevalence of GDM in South Africa. This study aims to investigate, using photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS); the potential correlation of long-term exposure to enhanced levels of air pollutants with the prevalence of GDM in women living near coal mining operations. %Z Bibliogr.: p. 65-66. ; ill. ; összefoglalás angol nyelven
