Short-term effects and attributable burden of ambient volatile organic compound mixtures on pediatric atopic dermatitis and asthma in Seoul.

Environmental exposure to semi-volatile organic compounds and COPD progression: Evidence mapping, exposure assessment and metabolomic insights.

Current evidence supports respiratory relevance of several SVOC classes but is insufficient to establish SVOCs as causal drivers of COPD progression, and future longitudinal COPD cohorts should integrate repeated environmental sampling, human biomonitoring, source attribution, mixture modeling and targeted metabolomics...

Associations Between Residential Indoor Environmental Indicators and Respiratory Allergic Symptoms Among Children in Shenzhen, China

Children are vulnerable to indoor environmental exposures, yet evidence from direct measurements in residential environments remains limited. This study included 115 observations from 74 children in Shenzhen during 2023–2024, with 111 observations available for regression-based analyses. Indoor environmental indicators...

Ranking sources of indoor volatile organic compounds by attributable burden of disease in China.

Urinary metabolites of volatile organic compounds as biomarkers of indoor exposure: evidence of sex differences in a cross-sectional study using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Objectives This study examined associations between indoor total volatile organic compound (TVOC) concentrations and urinary volatile organic compound (VOC) metabolites in Korean adults, focusing on potential sex-specific differences. We hypothesized that higher indoor TVOC exposure would be associated with higher urin...

Associations Between Volatile Organic Compound Mixtures and Allostatic Load: Evidence from the Green Heart Louisville Project

Allostatic load (AL) represents the cumulative physiological burden from activation of adaptive response systems. High AL, resulting from multisystemic dysregulation after chronic activation of response systems, is associated with chronic disease risk. Volatile organic compound (VOC) exposure may contribute to this dys...

Insights from Epidemiology and Network Toxicology into the Effect of Volatile Organic Compounds Exposure on Thyroid Function and the Underlying Mechanism.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are prevalent environmental pollutants posing significant risks to human health. However, their impact on thyroid function and the latent mechanism remain largely uncharted. This study utilized data of 1201 participants aged ≥20 years from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surv...
