Analysis of interactions of particle-associated oxidative potential sources using multilayer perceptron neural networks: A case study in Shenyang, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
The oxidative potential (OP) of particulate matter (PM) is a possible indicator for assessing the oxidative-imbalance risk caused by PM exposure. The OP contributions of different PM sources exhibit nonlinear relationships, and the specific patterns ...

Association of ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and its constituents with risk of pulmonary nodules in a lung cancer screening project.

Environmental research
BACKGROUND: Ambient fine particulate matter (PM) is a significant global public health concern. However, large-scale research has yet to explore the effects of long-term PM exposure on the pulmonary nodule characteristics.

Racial and ethnic disparities in exposure to short-term NO air pollution in California during 1980-2022.

Journal of hazardous materials
Historical racial and ethnic disparities in short-term exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO) have rarely been investigated, primarily due to the lack of spatiotemporally resolved NO data covering the historical period. In this study, we used publ...

Exploring the potential associations between single and mixed volatile compounds and preserved ratio impaired spirometry using five different approaches.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
BACKGROUND: Although the relationship between environmental pollutants and respiratory health has received widespread attention, no studies have explored the association between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and preserved ratio impaired spirometr...

QSAR-based prediction of acute inhalation toxicity and SHAP interpretability analysis of fluorocarbon environmental-friendly insulating gases.

Environmental research
Environmental-friendly fluorocarbon insulating gases have emerged as the preferred substitutes for SF due to their low global warming potential (GWP) and excellent insulation properties. However, current gases face challenges in meeting multiple perf...

Using open data to derive parsimonious data-driven models for uncovering the influence of local traffic and meteorology on air quality: The case of Madrid.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Air pollution remains a critical public health and environmental challenge, particularly in urban areas where traffic emissions and meteorological conditions strongly influence air quality. While Machine Learning (ML) techniques have been increasingl...

Predictive modelling of air pollution affecting human tuberculosis risk on Mainland China.

Scientific reports
In this study, we investigated the correlation between air pollution indicators and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) incidence and mortality rates across provincial administrative regions of China from January 2013 to December 2020 to develop predictive m...

Fusing satellite imagery and ground-based observations for PM air pollution modeling in Iran using a deep learning approach.

Scientific reports
With the rapid advancement of urbanization and industrialization in cities, air pollution has become one of the significant environmental challenges and issues in many countries. The concentration of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of...

Air Pollution and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Unveiling Multipollutant Risks and Sociodemographic Influences in California.

Environmental health perspectives
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with increasing prevalence worldwide. Air pollution may be a major contributor to the rise in ASD cases. This study investigated how the risk of ASD associated with prenatal...

Divergent radiative forcing of fine-mode aerosols across tree genera during wildfires in North America and Europe.

Journal of hazardous materials
Rising global temperatures have escalated wildfire frequency, and the resulting fine-mode aerosol emissions pose a significant threat to the global ecosystem. However, how these emissions vary with tree genera remains largely unexplored. In this stud...
