Urinary volatile organic compound metabolites and COPD among US adults: mixture, interaction and mediation analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide novel evidence suggesting that VOCs may have adverse associations with COPD in the general population, with N, N- Dimethylformamide and 1,3-Butadiene contributing most. These findings underscore the significance of understanding the potential health risks associated with VOC mixture and emphasize the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the adverse effects on COPD risk.PMID:38702703 | DOI:10.1186/s12940-024-01086-y
