Abstract Ambient particulate matter (PM) has became the major environmental risk factors in Korea, and exposure to PM is associated with adverse health effects on human. The objective of this study was to assess the alteration in response to environmental exposure and to investigate the association between levels of metabolite identified in human whole blood samples and PM with a diameter 2.5-10 µm(PM10).
In this study, we analyzed human whole blood from 457 Koreans using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The concentration of PM10 was used in multivariate linear regression model adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and smoking status. We found that PM10 was significantly related to energy metabolism such as lactate, pyruvate, glucose, and fumarate.
This approach can be a novel tool to identify potential biomarkers for predicting exposure of pollutants like PM10 and to assess the impacts of environmental pollution on human metabolism.
