Bioaerosols in an industrial park and the adjacent houses: Dispersal between indoor/outdoor, the impact of air purifier, and health risk reduction.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environment international [Environ Int] 2023 Feb; Vol. 172, pp. 107778. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jan 26.
Abstract: Inhaling airborne pathogens may cause severe epidemics showing huge threats to indoor dwellings residents. The ventilation, environmental parameters, and human activities would affect the abundance and pathogenicity of bioaerosols in indoor. However, p...
Fungal bioaerosol as an occupational hazard in the podiatrist's workplace.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International journal of environmental health research [Int J Environ Health Res] 2023 Feb; Vol. 33 (2), pp. 180-191. Date of Electronic Publication: 2021 Dec 16.
Abstract: Previous studies have reported the potential emission of nail dust to the indoor air of the podiatrist's workplace during nail drilling procedures. The main objective of this study was to analyse the fungal bioaerosol present in the indoor air of podia...
Comparison of airborne bacteria and fungi in different built environments in selected cities in five climate zones of China.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): The Science of the total environment [Sci Total Environ] 2023 Feb 20; Vol. 860, pp. 160445. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Nov 25.
Abstract: Bioaerosols in different built environments and climate zones have unique effects on occupant health, which demands comparisons of their characteristics to make targeted control measures. This study investigated bioaerosol distribution in five differen...
Automated infection risks assessments (AIRa) for decision-making using a blockchain-based alert system: A case study in a representative building.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental research [Environ Res] 2023 Jan 01; Vol. 216 (Pt 3), pp. 114663. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Oct 29.
Abstract: Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important parameter in protecting the occupants of an indoor environment. Previous studies have shown that an indoor environment with poor ventilation increases airborne virus transmission. Existing research has concluded...
Review of microplastics in the indoor environment: Distribution, human exposure and potential health impacts.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Chemosphere [Chemosphere] 2023 May; Vol. 324, pp. 138270. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 04.
Abstract: The emergence of microplastics (MPs) pollution as a global environmental concern has attracted significant attention in the last decade. The majority of the human population spends most of their time indoors, leading to increased exposure to MPs contam...
Heterogeneous impact of eco-innovation on premature deaths resulting from indoor and outdoor air pollution: empirical evidence from EU29 countries.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental science and pollution research international [Environ Sci Pollut Res Int] 2023 Jan; Vol. 30 (1), pp. 2298-2314. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Aug 05.
Abstract: Environmental innovations play a vital role in reducing air pollution and the number of pollution-related mortality. Most of the previous studies have examined the role of eco-innovations in environmental quality. However, to our knowledge, no study ha...
Air Purifier Intervention to Remove Indoor PM 2.5 in Urban China: A Cost-Effectiveness and Health Inequality Impact Study.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental science & technology [Environ Sci Technol] 2023 Mar 21; Vol. 57 (11), pp. 4492-4503. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 07.
Abstract: Using air purifiers is an intervention to reduce exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) for health benefits. We performed a comprehensive simulation in urban China to estimate the cost-effectiveness of long-term use of air purifiers to remove in...
How does particulate air pollution affect barrier functions and inflammatory activity of lung vascular endothelium?
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Allergy [Allergy] 2023 Mar; Vol. 78 (3), pp. 629-638. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jan 18.
Abstract: Both particulate matter and gaseous components of air pollution have already been shown to increase cardiovascular mortality in numerous studies. It is, however, important to note that on their way to the bloodstream the polluting agents pass the lung ...
Particulate air pollution in the Copenhagen metro part 1: Mass concentrations and ventilation.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environment international [Environ Int] 2023 Jan; Vol. 171, pp. 107621. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Nov 08.
Abstract: The Copenhagen Metro comprises four lines, the M1, M2, M3 and M4, with 25 subterranean stations and an additional 14 stations above ground, serving ca. 80 million passengers annually. In this study we measure fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) and carbo...
