Bio‐Based Nanofiber Membranes for Effective Air Filtration: Fabrication and Evaluation of Flame‐Retardant Behavior, Mechanical Properties, and Filtration Performance

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
The membranes are fabricated from a biodegradable polymer and a bio‐based and inorganic flame‐retardant material in optimized electrospinning conditions to control flammability. Hydrogen bonds between the applied materials improved the mechanical properties and potential exposure to fire. These membranes offer higher filtration quality compared to that

Trust and consequences: Role of community science, perceptions, values, and environmental justice in risk communication

Risk Analysis, Volume 42, Issue 11, Page 2362-2375, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Risk communication is often viewed as imparting information and perhaps as a two‐way dialogue. Risk communication inadequacies on the part of both “communicator” and “community members” can lead to adverse consequences and amplify environmental justice disparities.

Spina bifida as a multifactorial birth defect: Risk factors and genetic underpinnings

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Abstract Spina bifida is a birth defect resulting from abnormal embryonic development of the neural tube. Though spina bifida is divided into several subtypes, myelomeningocele—the most severe form of spina bifida often associated with a markedly diminished quality of life—accounts for a significant portion of cases.

Pesticide exposure of operators during mixing and loading a drone: towards a stratified exposure assessment

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Operators are exposed to concentrated formulation during mixing of pesticide into the nurse tank and to an in‐use dilution during loading the drone; stratification of exposure for mixing and loading would inform the exposure assessment approach by applying the appropriate dermal absorption considerations.
