PG - 108428 LID - S1567-5769(21)01064-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.108428 [doi] AB - There is a scarcity of studies on the effects of mixed chemicals on total IgE. We aim to assess whether there is a link between chemical mixtures (blood and urine of 26 chemicals including lead, mercury, cadmium, t,t-muconic acid, benzylmercapturic acid , 1-hydroxypyrene, 2-naphthol, 2-hydroxyfluorene, 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate, mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate, mono-n-butyl phthalate, mono-benzyl phthalate, mono-(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate, mono-carboxyoctyl phthalate, mono-carboxy-isononly phthalate, mono (3-carboxypropyl) phthalate, bisphenol A, bisphenol F, bisphenol S, triclosan, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid, and cotinine), and total IgE in 3,642 Korean adults aged >/= 19. The effects of mixed chemical exposure on total IgE were identified using linear regression models, weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, quantile g-computation (qgcomp), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR). The most relevant factors linked with IgE, according to the linear regression models, were blood or urine mercury and urine bisphenol A levels, with significant trends detected for these chemical tertiles (p < 0.01). The WQS index was significantly linked with ln2-transformed levels of serum total IgE (beta = 0.30, 95 %CI 0.25-0.32). The qgcomp index also found a significant link between chemicals and ln2-transformed levels of serum total IgE (beta = 0.52, 95 %CI 0.21-0.82), and elevated serum total IgE levels (OR = 2.55, 95 %CI 1.14-5.71). In BKMR analysis, the overall effect of the mixture was significantly associated with ln2-transformed levels of serum total IgE. The cutoff levels for exposure levels related to serum total IgE levels/elevated serum total IgE levels were reported. We discovered that whole-body exposure to 26 chemicals was associated with serum total IgE levels after assessing the findings of these four models. More research is needed in the future to gain a better understanding of the impact of mixed chemical exposure on allergic disorders and how to minimize chemical exposure, especially for people under the age of 18.
