The association between air pollutants, meteorological factors, and mushroom poisoning cases in Guizhou Province, China: a 5-year time-series study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mushroom poisoning is a major food safety concern in Guizhou Province, where meteorological conditions play an important role in its occurrence. However, the lagged associations and interactions between air pollutants and meteorological factors on poisoning risk remain unclear. This study systematically evaluates the impact of these environmental factors on mushroom poisoning incidence.

Methods

We collected daily records of mushroom poisoning cases, air pollutants, and meteorological data in Guizhou Province from 2019 to 2023. A generalized additive model (GAM) was employed to analyze exposure-response relationships and interactions between air pollutants, meteorological factors, and mushroom poisoning cases, while a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) quantifi
