Rethinking Chlorine: Essential Chemical or Replaceable Risk?

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
Chlorine is essential for the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals but poses significant safety and environmental risks. Herein, processes are presented that substitute chlorine or reduce its demand. Where indispensable, trichloride‐ and bichloride‐based ionic liquids could enhance safety and streamline the integration of renewable energy ...

Trend analysis and forecasting air pollution in Rwanda [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Air pollution is a major public health problem worldwide although the lack of data is a global issue for most low and middle income countries. Ambient air pollution in the form of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exceeds the World Health Organization guidelines in Rwanda with a daily average of around 42.6 microgram per meter cube.

Health Risks Associated with Occupational Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution in Commercial Drivers: a Systematic Review [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
Introduction: Ambient air pollution is major global health problem and commercial drivers are particularly exposed to it. No systematic assessment of the health risks associated with occupational exposure to ambient air pollution in this population has been carried out. Methods: We conducted a systematic review using a protocol-driven strategy.

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Characteristics and difference of respiratory diseases in Korean adults aged ≥40 years: A cross‐sectional study

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 29-39, January 2023., 2023
The odds ratio (OR) of having asthma + COPD among patients with asthma was lower in females and older people. Regarding BMI, risk of asthma + COPD was higher in underweight patients with asthma as compared with those with normal BMI, whereas the association was lower in overweight subjects.

Telomere length in newborns is associated with exposure to low levels of air pollution during pregnancy

Environment International, 2021
Telomere length (TL) is a biomarker of biological aging that may be affected by prenatal exposure to air pollution. The aim of this study was to assess the association between prenatal exposure to air pollution and TL in maternal blood cells (leukocytes),
