Effects of secondhand smoke on thyroid function
Carrillo AE, Metsios GS, Flouris AD. Effects of secondhand smoke on thyroid function. Inflamm Allergy Drug Targets. 2009 Dec;8(5):359-63. doi: 10.2174/1871528110908050359. PMID: 20025583. Abstract: Growing evidence suggests that the effects of second hand smoke (SHS) exposure contribute to disruptions in thyroid function. Toxic elements contained in cigarette smoke, such as thiocyanate, may be partially responsible […]
