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...

Abstract Background Environmental studies often evaluate how exposures influence health outcomes through intermediate biological processes. In practice, researchers are often interested in complex exposure mixtures rathe...

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution patterns and population exposure risks of rare earth elements （REEs） in vegetables from typical rare earth mining areas across four provincial-level administrative divisions i...

Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology is widely used for pipeline rehabilitation, but curing emissions and leachates may introduce complex chemical mixtures into air and drinking water, raising environmental health conce...

The widespread application of chlorantraniliprole (CAP) in rice-crayfish co-culture systems poses a potential threat to the health of the non-target crustacean Procambarus clarkii. However, the sub-chronic effects of env...

Global coffee demand rises by about 2.3% annually, intensifying environmental, health and social externalities, particularly in producing countries. There is limited understanding of the magnitude of these externalities ...

ABSTRACT In the Amazon, the rapid and disorderly occupation of large urban centers resulted in severe degradation of small rivers and streams, resulting in the reduction in abundance of native fish species. This study ai...

Abstract Background Recent WHO-commissioned systematic reviews have concluded with “high certainty” that exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) increases cancer risk and reduces male fertility in ...

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are the most widely used herbicides worldwide. Epidemiological studies have suggested that maternal exposure to GBH is associated with reduced fertility and shortened gestational length....

The EU's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability aims to incorporate environmental risk of combined exposure, stemming from unintentional chemical mixtures in the environment, into regulatory risk assessments. Within the E...

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) remains a significant public health concern in Chile despite the implementation of comprehensive smoke-free policies. This study aimed to identify sociodemographic, behavioral, and bioch...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental pollutants widely used in industrial applications due to their thermal stability and chemical resistance. However, their persistence in the environ...

Abstract Background Early-life environmental exposures may influence infant neurodevelopment. We examined associations between perinatal air pollution, green space exposure, and milestone attainment during the first two ...

Abstract Background Environmental dust exposure is common in arid regions and may influence upper airway function. Its relationship with voice quality in young adults remains incompletely understood. Objective To evaluat...

Water bodies are routinely exposed to a mixture of contaminants via various anthropogenic exposure mechanisms. Phytoremediation offers a low-cost nature-based solution to remove contaminants from polluted water bodies. T...

Immersive virtual reality is increasingly being used as a tool for promoting environmental awareness, particularly to strengthen engagement with nature. However, most research has focused on the short-term effects of a s...

Dietary exposure to carcinogenic compounds generated during meat processing represents a critical yet underexplored component of the African cancer exposome. Traditional high-temperature cooking methods, including smokin...

ABSTRACT Background Lead is a nonessential, toxic heavy metal that causes widespread environmental contamination, affecting humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems. Globally, an estimated 800 million children have blood ...

Background The photic sneeze reflex (PSR) is a common but underexplored phenomenon where bright light triggers sneezing, affecting ~30% of the population. This study aimed to characterise the light conditions inducing PS...

This review aims to critically investigate the swelling behavior of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs), with a focus on identifying key mechanisms of moisture absorption, the influence of fiber–matrix interact...

Urban air pollution is a serious environmental problem in developing countries worldwide, and health is a pressing issue in the megacities in Latin America. Buenos Aires is a megacity with an estimated moderate Air Quali...

Pyrethroid insecticides are widely used indoors in residential, commercial, and occupational pest-control settings and are generally regarded as safe because of their relatively low acute toxicity. This perception is lar...

Agroecosystems are usually polluted with a wide variety of contaminants with pesticides being very frequently detected. Endosulfan, an organochlorine pesticide, has been shown to cause both lethal and sublethal effects o...

Abstract Key roles of marine dimethyl sulfoniopropionate (DMSP), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), methyl mercaptan (MeSH), and carbon disulfide (CS2) in the sulfur cycle and/or atmospheric chemistry, alongside the rapid environme...
