Chronic exposure to odorous chemicals in residential areas and effects on human psychosocial health: Dose–response relationships

摘要: Abstract Perceived air pollution, including environmental odor is known to be an stressor that affects individuals' psychosocial health and well-being. However, very few studies have been able quantify exposure–response associations based on individual-specific residential exposures a proxy gas examine the mechanisms underlying these associations. In this study, in non-urban environments during 2005–2010 released from animal biodegradable wastes (ammonia, NH 3 ) were calculated by Danish Eulerian long-range transport model local-scale deposition model. We used binomial multinomial logistic regression mediation analyses between average questionnaire-based data responses, after controlling for person-specific covariates. About 45% of respondents annoyed pollution. Exposures associated with annoyance (adjusted odds ratio [OR adj ] = 3.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.33–5.39), risk perception (OR  = 4.94; CI = 1.95–12.5) behavioral interference  = 3.28; CI = 1.77–6.11), each unit increase log e (NH exposure). Annoyance was strong mediator exposure–behavior exposure–health relationships (81% 44% mediation, respectively). Health did not play mediating role exposure–annoyance or exposure–behavioral relationships. This first study provide quantitative estimation dose–response ambient effects caused pollution outdoor environments. It further shows are both direct mediated other responses. The results support use as epidemiologic studies.
