Prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated to childhood atopic dermatitis (AD), but the critical exposure window and the role of maternal inflammatory pathways remain unclear. We analyzed 40...

The results of whole-body exposure to airborne particulate matter <10 µm on the cornea of BALB/c mice, how their natural resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) keratitis is impacted, and whether plastoquinonyl-d...

Incense and candles are commonly utilized for relaxation, deodorization, aesthetics, and religious observance. Both are used ubiquitously and viewed innocuously. However, both modalities release a multitude of compounds,...

This study aims to evaluate the effect of different sources of inorganic phosphate, monosodium phosphate (MSP), monocalcium phosphate (MCP) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP), included in a diet for rainbow trout, on growt...

Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

Three years have passed since the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) brought the world to standstill. In most countries, the restrictions have ended, and the immunity of the population has increased; however...

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a significant air pollutant in the Indo Gangetic Basin (IGB), where levels frequently exceed national and WHO air quality standards. Ground observations from 183 CPCB automatic...

Abstract Background Ethnic disparities in ischemic stroke are substantial and differences in exposure to air pollution have been demonstrated as well. However, the role of air pollution in mediating ethnic disparities in...

We evaluated the effects of grazing on C and N belowground pools by comparing 15 grazing-exclosure pairs across the Río de la Plata grasslands of Uruguay and Argentina. We measured C and N pools of belowground biomass, ...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

In this work, a novel system for managing air pollution produced during steam sterilization is presented. Steam sterilization technique is used to manage infectious medical waste into municipal waste under the Ministeria...

Abstract Background Ambient air pollution has posed negative effects on human health. Individual-level factors may modify this effect, but previous studies have controversial conclusions, and evidence is lacking especial...

Introduction Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is influenced by meteorological and air pollution factors. However, few studies have evaluated their joint and interactive effects under real-world multi-exposure conditio...

An interparticle system has been devised, allowing airborne singlet oxygen to transfer between particle surfaces. Singlet oxygen is photogenerated on a sensitizer particle, where it then travels through air to a second p...

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is responsible for millions of deaths globally each year. We evaluated the impact of the human gut probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri MLR1103 on PM2.5-induced lung inflammation and inj...

Coastal regions are sectors where human activities impact the marine ecosystem, and if necessary control measures are not taken, they can generate negative consequences for health and ecosystem services. Within the frame...

Objective: To evaluate the long-term mineralizing effects of an experimental ion-releasing, short fiber-reinforced flowable composite (SFC-active) applied to human teeth with molar–incisor hypomineralization (MIH). M...

Abstract Fine particulate matter produced during the rapid industrialization over the past decades can cause significant harm to human health. Twin-fluid atomization technology is an effective means of controlling fine p...

Peri-urban horticulture is crucial to local populations, but a global paucity of information exists regarding the contamination of the associated waterways because of this activity. The aim of this study was to assess pe...

The catalytic combustion of diesel soot is addressed with flexible and structured “paper catalysts”. Two different series of catalysts were prepared either by drip impregnation or by a spray method to deposit a mixtu...

Abstract Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a key secondary pollutant formed through atmospheric photochemical reactions and is regarded as a characteristic indicator of photochemical pollution. In China, while primary pollut...

Abstract Anthropogenic emissions may drive the isotopically light zinc that pervades the low-latitude upper ocean, but major gaps in our understanding of oceanic zinc cycling have hindered the unequivocal detection of an...

The temperature sensitivity of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) critically influences air quality and human health under a warming climate, yet models struggle to accurately reproduce observed sensitivities. This study im...

Introduction There are serious and long-term effects of air pollution on children, thus the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Air Pollution Working Group has evaluated whether air quality was being sufficiently m...
