ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

BackgroundMaternal exposure to air pollutants are associated with congenital heart defects (CHDs), yet fundamental questions remain unclear: which pollutant matters most, which exposure window is most critical, and wheth...

Secondhand smoke (SHS) contains toxicants and carcinogens that are known to cause premature death and disease. Objectively measuring SHS exposure can support and evaluate smoke-free legislations. In Latin America, the mo...

Abstract Automobile cabin air filter-deposited particulate matter represents an underappreciated exposure source, yet the differential toxicity between filter sides and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we syst...

Periapical abscess radiography analysis using imageJ after endodontics treatment. The visual assessment to measure the lesion of periapical abscesses on the radiograph interpretation has the distinction of periapical in ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Infectious epiglottitis is inflammation of epiglottis and surrounding structures and may be life‐threatening without treatment. Air pollution is a critical risk factor for human health. Thi...

BackgroundGestational weight gain is closely related to maternal and infant health outcomes. Pregnant women are simultaneously exposed to four metals—lithium (Li), vanadium (V), uranium (U), and bismuth (Bi)—through ...

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...
