Abstract
BackgroundThe present study aimed to evaluate the elimination of three common pollutants (dimethoate, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and bisphenol A (BPA) by different physical exercises and to assess the possible factors which could affect the pollutants elimination.MethodsA total of 200 individuals who chose different kinds of exercises in accordance to their own wish were recruited. The levels of urinary pollutants were measured using β-glucuronidase hydrolysis followed by a high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry-based method.ResultsTotally, the levels of dimethoate, BaP and BPA were reduced after physical exercises. However, the elimination of BaP in male was higher than that in female but the elimination of BPA in female was higher than that in male. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the degree of heart rate (HR) change was a protective factor affecting the improvement effect of dimethoate, BaP and BPA while BMI (body mass index) was a risk factor. Nevertheless, sex was a risk factor affecting the improvement of dimethoate and BaP but had a lower efficacy on BPA improvement.ConclusionThe present findings indicate that physical exercises can be considered as a novel approach to eliminate pollutants level in human body and can also give suggestions for choosing specific physical exercises to male and female individuals. Moreover, those who are with higher BMI need to lose weight before eliminating pollutant level through physical exercises.
Highlights
Excessive accumulation of environment pollutants in tissues and organs tends to cause damage to the human body, eventually leading to the various diseases
Levels of three environmental pollutants were reduced after physical exercises The level of dimethoate, BaP and Bisphenol A (BPA) of 200 individuals were measured before and after 3 months physical exercises by a high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry-based method
The results showed that the degree of heart rate (HR) change was the risk factor influencing the elimination of dimethoate, BaP and BPA, and the influence degree of the three pollutants was equal
Summary
Excessive accumulation of environment pollutants in tissues and organs tends to cause damage to the human body, eventually leading to the various diseases. There are three common environmentally-derived pollutants that require special attention, which are organophosphorus pesticide residues, dimethoate [3], from pesticide abuse, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) [4], Xu et al BMC Public Health (2022) 22:223 from air pollution, and bisphenol A(BPA) [5] from the plastics industry. Several studies have documented that the carcinogenicity [9] and developmental toxicity [10, 11] of dimethoate which can lead to a reduction in plasma cholinesterase [12]. The present study aimed to evaluate the elimination of three common pollutants (dimethoate, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and bisphenol A (BPA) by different physical exercises and to assess the possible factors which could affect the pollutants elimination
