Land use regression (LUR) models assess air pollution exposure but often struggle with transferability (predicting concentrations in areas without measurements) and generalizability (capturing spatial patterns across neighborhoods). This study evalua...
Esophageal cancer (ESCA) is a significant malignancy with rising global incidence rates and considerable impacts on patient survival and quality of life. Current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies face limitations, necessitating research into its ...
BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals with widespread environmental persistence and human exposure. Currently, no studies have used machine learning (ML) to predict depression based on PFAS exposure. This stud...
A growing body of literature supports the association between ambient particulate pollution and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Both issues are particularly relevant in Italy. This study investigates the relationship between T2DM and exposure to ...

Environmental pollution plays a major role in the development of prostate cancer (PCA). However, there has been no research on machine learning (ML) modelling between multiple heavy metal exposures and PCA risk. Based on the 8022 samples from the 200...
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) from solid-fuel combustion is a major determinant of global morbidity and mortality. However, variations in exposure remain uncertain across many high-risk populations. This work describes personal PM exposure...
Although pesticide application is indispensable for agricultural productivity, improper use can pose significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. This study investigated the effects of pesticide exposure on metabolic pathways an...
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.
Ecotoxicology and environmental safety

OBJECTIVE: Evidence from prior studies indicates that certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as phenols and phthalates, may serve as environmental risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, no studies have ex...
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...
