Abstract

BACKGROUND: PM is a harmful mixture of various chemical components that pose a challenge in determining their individual and combined health effects due to multicollinearity issues with traditional linear regression models. This study aimed to develop an analytical methodology combining traditional and novel machine learning models to evaluate PM's combined effects on blood pressure (BP) and identify the most toxic components.
