Increasing human health and longevity is of global interest. Environmental, genetic, and stochastic factors all affect longevity; among these factors, environment is extremely important. To…
Smoke from residential wood burning has been identified as a major contributor to air pollution, motivating detailed emission measurements under controlled conditions. A series of…
This study investigated the role of indoor office air on exposure to polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) among office workers. Week-long, active air sampling was conducted during…
People spend most of their time indoors. Dust settled in the home may be contaminated by semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). Exposure to these compounds is…
In this study, the authors discuss a mortality-weighted synthetic evaluation (MWSE) method to evaluate urban air risk assessments. SO2, NOx, and particulate matter (PM10) were…
In this study, the authors assessed dermal exposure to bitumen condensate among road pavers and indoor mastic workers in multiple crews using a semi-quantitative observational…
Exposure to high benzene concentrations in polluted air has been associated with bone marrow deficiency, aplastic anaemia, and leukaemia; however, epidemiological studies reported conflicting data…
This study investigated the possible effects of aerosol exposure on lung function, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and inflammatory markers in blood from Norwegian cement…
Endotoxin-exposed workers are at an increased risk of non-atopic asthma and lung-function decline. Genetic variants may influence susceptibility to these effects. In this study, the…
The aim of the present study was to analyse the dose-response relationship between occupational asbestos exposure and risk of cancer. The study was a retrospective…
The Bolivian Altiplano (Highlands) region is subject to intense mining, tailing and smelting activities since centuries because of the presence of large and unique polymetallic…
Much of human exposure to ambient ozone and ozone reaction byproducts occurs inside buildings. However, there are currently no experimental data on the ability of…
There is growing evidence that asthma symptoms can be aggravated or events triggered by exposure to indoor NO2 emitted from un-flued gas heating. The NO2…
Persistent organic pollutants (POP) and heavy metals are well known environmental pollutants. Even though numerous studies have been conducted to assess human exposure to these…
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations in indoor air were measured in upstate New York as part of a non-occupational exposure investigation. Adjacent studied communities have numerous…
Safe solvent management and storage are significant concerns in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly when purification systems are run unattended and are supplied by large volumes…
In the present study, the cytotoxic effects and toxicology mechanism of six polybrominated di-Ph ethers (PBDEs) metabolites (3-OH-BDE47, 3-MeO-BDE47, 5-OH-BDE47, 5-MeO-BDE47, 6-OH-BDE85 and 6-MeO-BDE85) on…
Nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are mutagenic and carcinogenic environmental pollutants found in diesel exhaust and on urban air pollution particles. In the present study, human…
To avoid spontaneous combustion of coal, reduce cost, and improve the effect of fire prevention and extinction, this essay brings about the technology and related…
The preparation comprises of adding tetra-Bu titanate in ethanol to obtain solution A; stirring and adding water, acetic acid, acetylacetone and FeCl3.6H2O in ethanol to…
