Description

Ruitong Liao and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 on air chemicals and a blood enzyme in adults in the United States. The chemicals, called volatile organic compounds, come from fuels, paints, and industry. Their traces were measured in urine, and the enzyme LDH was measured in blood.

Data covered 4,907 adults in a national health survey from 2011 to 2018, with 17 chemical traces tested. Several traces were linked to lower LDH, while one was linked to higher levels. Mixed exposure tests also pointed both ways, with different chemicals leading each side. Most links held up in repeat checks. The authors read the pattern as a possible early sign of harm from these chemicals.
