Indoor environment constitutes an important source of industrial additive chemicals to human exposure. We hypothesized that the influence of residential environment on human exposure varies among different types of additive chemicals and differs betw...
Phosphate flame retardants (PFRs) are ubiquitous chemicals in the indoor environment. Diphenyl phosphate (DPHP) is a major metabolite and a common biomarker of aryl-PFRs. Since it is used as a chemical additive and it is a common impurity of aryl-PFR...

Refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) can cause adverse health effects on workers' respiratory system, yet no proper biomarkers have been used to detect early pulmonary injury of RCFs-exposed workers. This study assessed the levels of two biomarkers that ...
This study compared the effectiveness of using a commercially available robotic mop versus hand mopping as the second step of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s recommended three-step vacuum–mop–vacuum process to remove lead dust ...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the potential of deep learning in assessing pneumoconiosis depicted on digital chest radiographs and to compare its performance with certified radiologists.

Accurate prediction of the dust concentration (DC) is necessary to reduce its undesirable environmental effects in different geographical areas. Although the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is a powerful model for predicting dust events...
Inhalation exposure to the resuspended biological particles from public places can cause adverse effects on human health. In this work, carpet dust samples were first collected from twenty example conference and hotel rooms by a vacuum cleaner. A bip...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cement dust exposure is likely to affect the structural and functional alterations in segmental airways and parenchymal lungs. This study develops an artificial neural network (ANN) model for identifying cement dust-exposed ...
Dust storms have many negative consequences, and affect all kinds of ecosystems, as well as climate and weather conditions. Therefore, classification of dust storm sources into different susceptibility categories can help us mitigate its negative eff...
Cesium-137, discharged by nuclear installations under normal operations and deposited in watersheds following atmospheric testing and accidents (i.e. Chernobyl, Fukushima …), has been studied for decades. Thus, modelling of Cs concentration in rivers...
