Long-Term Exposure to Essential Oils and Cardiopulmonary Health from a Population-Based Study

It is still unknown whether long-term inhalation of indoor air pollutants from ambient essential oil associated with increased cardiopulmonary events. We recruited 200 healthy homemakers to conduct a prospective observation study in Northern Taiwan. measured heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), peak expiratory flow (PEFR), and four times per year for each participant between 2008 2018. Moreover, questionnaire related usage, home characteristics, health status was filled out participant. The association usage determined using mixed-effects models. models showed significant adverse effects including HR decreased % predicted PEFR among participants heavy use oils. No oils observed without or mild (less than one hour day). concluded that exposure pollution more day.
