Clearing the air: the links between occupational and environmental air pollution control.

Public health reviews, 1995
We reviewed the relationship between occupational respiratory medicine and the environmental health aspects of air pollution control. Although these fields share epidemiologic and toxicologic concerns, they collaborate infrequently. From an historical perspective, both occupational health and air pollution control efforts increased in response to the ...

Origin of Physicochemical and Mechanical Stability of Low‐Temperature Prepared TiO2‐Based Photocatalytic Films: Surface Hydroxyl Density Matching

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Material science advances show how surface chemistry improves low‐temperature prepared TiO2‐SiO2 composite films. Using a colloidal‐based synthesis method instead of a powdered‐based one, researchers exploit hydroxyl groups' interfacial interactions to create nanoscale structures with superior physicochemical and mechanical stability.

Parameterising the effect of human occupancy and kinetic energy on indoor air pollution

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Abstract Indoor air quality (IAQ) is increasingly recognised as one of the most important aspects for public health, workplace safety and productivity. While indoor and outdoor factors both influence indoor pollutant levels, human presence and activity are key drivers of the emission of specific pollutants ...
