BOSTON, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- There is a strong, consistent correlation between adult diabetes -- type 2 diabetes -- and particulate air pollution, U.S. epidemiologists suggest.

Study leaders John Pearson and John Brownstein of the Children's Hospital Boston Informatics Program analyzed county-by-county data on PM2.5 pollution -- fine particulates of 0.1-2.5 nanometers in size -- from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency covering every county in the contiguous United States for 2004 and 2005.

Makes no sense. People who don't live in those areas still get DM-II. May be a false correlation.

Correlation does NOt equal causation. Exactly.
