Associations between blood ethylene oxide levels and serum neurofilament light chain concentrations in adults: evidence from the NHANES
Our results indicate a link between increased EO levels and higher serum NfL concentrations in a sample of US adults aged 20 years and older. Although the directionality and clinical significance of this observation remain uncertain, our results emphasize the importance of conducting additional studies to investigate the possible causes and neurological effects of exposure to EO in adults.
