Effect of the exposure to brominated flame retardants on hyperuricemia using interpretable machine learning algorithms based on the SHAP methodology.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are classified as important endocrine disruptors and persistent organic pollutants; nevertheless, there is no comprehensive investigation to evaluate the association between BFRs and hyperuricemia, and t...

Exploring the association between volatile organic compound exposure and chronic kidney disease: evidence from explainable machine learning methods.

Renal failure
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects approximately 697.5 million people worldwide. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emerging as potential risk factors, but their complex relationships with CKD may be underestimated by traditional lin...

A Machine Learning-Based Clustering Analysis to Explore Bisphenol A and Phthalate Exposure from Medical Devices in Infants with Congenital Heart Defects.

Environmental health perspectives
BACKGROUND: Plastic-containing medical devices are commonly used in critical care units and other patient care settings. Patients are often exposed to xenobiotic agents that are leached out from plastic-containing medical devices, including bisphenol...

Air Pollution and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Unveiling Multipollutant Risks and Sociodemographic Influences in California.

Environmental health perspectives
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with increasing prevalence worldwide. Air pollution may be a major contributor to the rise in ASD cases. This study investigated how the risk of ASD associated with prenatal...

Epidemiological association and machine learning-based prediction of lung cancer risk linked to long-term lagged satellite-derived PM in China.

Frontiers in public health
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated association between long-term PM exposure and lung cancer incidence, focusing on Jiangsu Province, China. We aimed to explore the effects of historical PM with time lags and build a prediction model using machine l...

ExpoPath: A method for identifying and annotating exposure pathways from chemical co-occurrence networks.

The Science of the total environment
Improving risk evaluation for environmental and human health is of paramount concern for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This includes the identification and assessment of chemical transport from commercial and industrial sources to e...

Effect of pregnancy and infancy exposure to outdoor particulate matter (PM, PM, PM) and SO on childhood pneumonia in preschool children in Taiyuan City, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
There is currently a paucity of research on the effects of early life exposure to particulate matter (PM) of various size fractions on pneumonia in preschool-aged children. We explored the connections between antenatal and postnatal exposure to atmos...

Assessing the association of multi-environmental chemical exposures on metabolic syndrome: A machine learning approach.

Environment international
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major global public health concern due to its rising prevalence and association with increased risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Emerging evidence suggests that environmental chemical exposures may pl...

Developing a novel Temporal Air-quality Risk Index using LSTM autoencoder: A case study with South Korean air quality data.

The Science of the total environment
As public awareness of environmental and health issues grows, providing accurate and accessible environmental risk information is essential for informed decision-making. Environmental indices simplify the complex impacts of various environmental fact...

Heavy metal biomarkers and their impact on hearing loss risk: a machine learning framework analysis.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: Exposure to heavy metals has been implicated in adverse auditory health outcomes, yet the precise relationships between heavy metal biomarkers and hearing status remain underexplored. This study leverages a machine learning framework to i...
