Traffic-related air pollution, biomarkers of metabolic dysfunction, oxidative stress, and CC16 in children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous research has revealed links between air pollution exposure and metabolic syndrome in adults; however, these associations are less explored in children.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the association between traffic-related air pollutants (TRAP) and biomarkers of metabolic dysregulation, oxidative stress, and lung epithelial damage in children.

Methods

We conducted cross-sectional analyses in a sample of predominantly Latinx, low-income children (n = 218) to examine associations between air pollutants (nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), nitrogen oxides (NO_x), elemental carbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO), fine particulates (PM_2.5)) and biomarkers of metabolic function (high-density lipoprote
