PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We attempt to provide a framework for cardiovascular risk assessment related to environmental pollutants to enhance awareness of risk posed by environmental risk factors and highlight approaches for risk intervention.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Fine particulate matter (PM) poses a public health risk, disproportionately impacting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In Peru, where ambient concentrations in urban areas significantly exceed the World Health Organization...
Microplastics are pervasive environmental pollutants, making human exposure unavoidable. Although previous studies have detected microplastics in human blood and feces, these investigations were limited by small sample sizes and key contributors to m...
Airborne micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are now recognized as persistent components of the atmospheric exposome. While their presence is established, their toxicological role remains incompletely understood. In this perspective, we propose the MNP Ex...
Toxicological studies have demonstrated that disinfection byproducts (DBPs) can disrupt thyroid function; however, human epidemiological evidence remains limited. The existing studies focus on a limited number of compounds and lack detailed investiga...
In recent years, the worsening problem of environmental pollution and the limitations of traditional toxicological assays have accelerated the adoption of machine learning (ML) in ecotoxicology. ML enables rapid and accurate prediction of pollutant e...
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a life-threatening cardiovascular event influenced by meteorological conditions and air pollution. Traditional statistical methods often fail to capture the complex, nonlinear relationships betwee...
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for assessing planetary health, particularly in environmental health. As a key determinant of human well-being, the environment significantly in...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interplay between the genetic predisposition to successful ageing and air pollution on lung disease in healthy aged German women under the hypothesis that ageing and lung diseases share mechanisms of oxidative stress and...
Humans are exposed to a multitude of environmental chemical mixtures (ECMs) in daily life that may influence depression risk. While prior studies have shown individual ECM exposures to depression, the cumulative and interactive effects of multiple co...
