Occupational heat exposure, nighttime warming, and eGFR loss in petrochemical workers: a retrospective cohort study with metabolomic evidence.

Under the context of climate warming, whether rising nighttime temperatures modify heat-related kidney risks among industrial workers remains unclear. This retrospective cohort study included 2,148 petrochemical workers in southeastern China followed from 2013 to 2022. Occupational heat exposure was assessed using the...
