Key Points

To examine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and volatile organic compound (VOC) exposure levels in residents living near an industrial smelter and evaluate their relationships with inflammation and chronic diseases.
Conducted a cross-sectional investigation of residents living in proximity to an active industrial smelter.
Assessed environmental and biological markers of PAH and VOC exposure in relation to systemic inflammatory indicators and diagnosed chronic illnesses.
Identified measurable environmental exposure to PAHs and VOCs among residents situated close to the smelter facility.
Observed positive associations between elevated chemical exposure biomarkers, heightened systemic inflammation, and prevalence of chronic diseases.
