Association between exposure to air pollution and kidney function decline.

Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Chronic kidney disease is a major global health concern, with air pollution increasingly recognized as a key contributor to kidney function decline. This study hypothesizes that exposure to air pollution accelerates kidney ...

Beyond model-specific biases: An explainable multifaceted approach for robust PM source apportionment.

Environmental research
Liu et al. (2025) present an innovative approach to PM source apportionment in urban environments by integrating Positive Matrix Factorization with machine learning (ML) models including XGBoost, Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). ...

Soil and litter emission sources as important contributors to ozone production from volatile organic compounds in island tropical forests.

Environmental research
While studies have confirmed that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted directly by tropical island forest vegetation significantly influence ozone (O) production and climate change through atmospheric oxidation processes, the environmental effec...

Coastal ozone dynamics and formation regime in Eastern China: Integrating trend decomposition and machine learning techniques.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Machine-learning is a robust technique for understanding pollution characteristics of surface ozone, which are at high levels in urban China. This study introduced an innovative approach combining trend decomposition with Random Forest algorithm to i...

Prediction of airborne bacterial concentrations and identification of critical factors in contaminated waste facilities: Insights into interpretable machine learning models.

Journal of hazardous materials
The efficient prediction of airborne bacterial concentrations is crucial for better understanding and management of environmental sanitation risks in waste facilities. Traditional linear models have proven inadequate in capturing the complex relation...

Quantifying role of source variations on PM-bound toxic components under climate change: Measurement at multiple sites during 2018-2022 in a Chinese megacity.

Journal of hazardous materials
Understanding the response of PM-bound toxic components to source variations under climate change is crucial for public health protection. However, the lack of long-term and multi-site observational data of toxic components limits such efforts. Here,...

Automatic and precise identification of volatile organic compounds from gas chromatography in prolonged atmospheric monitoring.

Journal of chromatography. A
Long-term continuous monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is pivotal for climate change research, air quality assessment, pollution source identification, and public health early warning systems. Prolonged VOC monitoring is routinely imple...

Air quality monitoring and mitigation through time series forecasting and stochastic optimization.

Journal of environmental management
Poor air quality poses significant threats to public health and environmental sustainability. To mitigate such risks, accurate air quality prediction is essential to inform intervention policies that effectively reduce pollutant levels. While past re...

Revolutionizing Satellite Real-Time Air Pollution Alerts through New On-Orbit System-on-Chip Technology.

Environmental science & technology
Exposure to abnormally high concentrations of particulate matter and ozone can cause severe harm to human health, highlighting the need for real-time satellite monitoring to enable rapid responses and timely warnings. However, the existing methods fo...

A robust black carbon prediction model derived from observational datasets in the Yangtze River Delta region, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Black carbon (BC) is a short-lived pollutant with significant environment and human health impacts. Monitoring BC is important, but its spatial coverage is limited. Therefore, predicting BC concentration is crucial in densely populated regions like t...
