Association among persistent chemical pollutants and infectious encephalitis: a mixture exposure and mediation approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most overlook the harmful effects on diseases, particularly the chronic neurotoxicity, which remains undetermined. This study aims to determine the impact of major environmental factors on infectious encephalitis.

Methods

Our study investigated the correlation between persistent chemical pollutants and reports and mortality cases of infectious encephalitis (Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis and Encephalitis B). First, the quantile-based g computation (qgcomp) statistical method was used to analyze the correlation of different chemical pollutants. Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression-Causal Mediation Analysis (BKMR-CMA) method was applied to explore the mediating effect of greenhouse gases between persistent chemical pollution mixtures and incidence and mortality of
