Table 4 Effects of dietary micronutrient intake on the association between PM2.5 and BP in both e-waste and non-e-waste recyclers

From: Micronutrient-rich dietary intake is associated with a reduction in the effects of particulate matter on blood pressure among electronic waste recyclers at Agbogbloshie, Ghana
