Abstract:Background: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Exposure to VOCs is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, including elevated blood pressure (BP) in susceptible populations. However, research in the general population, particularly among non-smoking adults, is limited. We hypothesized that higher VOC exposure is associated with higher BP and hypertension, among non-smokers. Methods: We included four cycles of data (2011-2018) of non-smoking adults (n=4… Show more
