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...

The increasing urgency of environmental sustainability has prompted extensive research into leveraging IS to address ecological challenges. A total of 4087 Scopus-indexed publications (2002–2023) were retrieved for bib...

The present study examines the effect of differentiated social studies supported by hypermedia e-modules on the development of sustainable social attitudes among elementary students. A quasi-experimental design with a pr...

IntroductionToday, the rapid acceleration of urbanization has made it necessary to reconsider the balance among energy consumption, environmental sustainability, and quality of life. Buildings, which account for a signif...

Abstract Architectural education faces increasing pressure to equip future practitioners with the ability to respond to sustainability, cultural continuity, and resource constraints through evidence-based design. Yet, th...

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...

Transposable elements (TEs) make up almost half of the human genome and are among its most densely methylated regions. Their epigenetic silencing is crucial for genomic stability and immune homeostasis, and accumulating ...

Abstract The relationship between the built environment and human emotional experience has received increasing attention in architectural and urban research. This study aims to collect fundamental background data from a ...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants of global concern due to their widespread occurrence, environmental persistence, and well-documented adverse effects on human health. In ...

Hydrocarbon pollution from oil spills, traffic emissions, and industrial processes continues to be a significant global threat to biodiversity, soil quality, water quality, and human health. Lichens, mutualistic life for...

Abstract A vast literature has examined the effects of trade liberalization on environmental pollution in Africa. Unfortunately, studies on the environmental impacts of Africa’s trade exchanges with leading global econ...
