Abstract Background Air pollution particles exacerbate allergic asthma and can enhance inflammatory responses to allergen exposure, but the cellular mechanisms involved remain incompletely defined. We examined how diesel...

The current number of emerging contaminants worldwide may reach tens of thousands. However, research on the extra-pulmonary toxicity induced by combined exposure of extremely low-dose emerging pollutants remains extremel...

Methane emissions and chemical pollutants often co-occur in natural and engineered environments, contributing to ecosystem degradation. Microorganisms play key roles in regulating these processes through methane oxidatio...

Abstract This study introduces a novel nonlinear mathematical model by considering three dynamic variables: densities of human population and industries, and concentration of atmospheric pollutants. The formulated model ...

Heavy metal pollution has become a major global concern due to its serious threats to ecosystem stability and public health. Although significant progress has been achieved in physical, chemical, and biological remediati...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) and dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have emerged as promising materials for activating persulfate (PS) in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) aimed at degrading organic pollutants. This review sys...

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...

Air Quality Health Indices (AQHIs) translate epidemiological concentration–response functions into composite risk metrics for public health communication. Recent proposals grounded in meta-analytic evidence have advanc...

The drinkable water scarcity has been increased worldwide due to the mixing of numerous hazardous organic and inorganic pollutants in water bodies, urging to find sustainable water remediation techniques. In this work, t...

Objective Despite of the tentative role of asbestos in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), their lung function variation in relation to air pollution remains unexplored. This cross-sectional study aimed to expl...

ABSTRACT The objective of the present work was to evaluate the performance of a compartmentalized anaerobic reactor (CAR) followed by anaerobic filter in real scale, effluent treatment from fish fridge processing. The wo...

This study investigates the ingestion of microplastics (MPs) by zooplankton in the surf zone of southwestern Atlantic sandy beaches, an extremely turbulent environment with high interaction between suspended particles. S...

Co-doped titanium dioxide materials were successfully synthesized by the sol–gel method. Molybdenum was incorporated into all materials at 0.5 wt %, while the co-dopants, copper and cobalt, were added at 0.2–0.5 wt %...

In this study, biological and chemical pollutants from various points of Diyala River (wastewater, sewage, orchard water, running water, and liquefied water) were treated by synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by ...

Abstract The dual challenges of waste biomass disposal and escalating contamination by inorganic, organic, and emerging microplastic pollutants demand sustainable, circular remediation strategies. Biochar, a carbon-rich,...

Microplastics are currently considered widespread marine pollutants, accumulating in sediments and shorelines around the world. Spatial distribution of microplastics in marine sediments is consequence of a combination of...

Modern lifestyle factors, including dietary choices, significantly affect individual and intergenerational health. The widespread reliance on processed and takeout foods, along with the regular use of cosmetics and perso...

Abstract Air pollution, particularly Nitrogen Dioxide ( $$\text {NO}_2$$ ) and ground-level ozone ( $$\text {O}_3$$ ), poses major risks to human health and the environment, making accurate forecasting essential for effe...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

Abstract Nanomaterials have emerged as highly effective candidates for air quality improvement due to their exceptional surface area, tuneable porosity, and catalytic activity. Recent studies report CO₂ adsorption capa...

Em setembro de 2000, três novilhas, provenientes de um pequeno rebanho de bovinos de corte, apresentaram severa depressão, tremores musculares, ato de pressionar a cabeça contra objetos e de ranger de dentes, intensa ...

Abstract Residues of pharmaceuticals are gradually accumulating in surface water resources because of the disposal of wastewater effluent. For the present study, four surface water resources (rivers and streams) that rec...
