The Respiratory Risks of Ambient/Outdoor Air Pollution

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2020
Globally, exposure to ambient air pollutants is responsible for premature mortality and is implicated in the development and exacerbation of several acute and chronic lung disease across all ages. In this article, we discuss the source apportionment of ambient pollutants and the respiratory health effects in humans. We specifically discuss the evidence

Ambient air pollution and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy [PDF]

Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2013
Background Ambient air pollution has been implicated in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). However, evidence of the association between air pollution and HDP is still limited, and the effects of gaseous air pollutants on HDP and their time windows of exposure have not been well studied.

A Self‐Cleaning Solar Evaporator Based on MXene/Aramid Nanofiber Aerogels for Efficient Water Desalination

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study develops a self‐cleaning solar evaporator based on MXene‐coated aramid nanofiber aerogels for efficient desalination under high‐salinity conditions. The cylindrical evaporator combines strong photothermal conversion, capillary water transport, and self‐rotation triggered by salt accumulation.

Association between traffic-related air pollution, subclinical inflammation and impaired glucose metabolism : results from the SALIA study [PDF]

, 2013
Environmental and lifestyle factors regulate the expression and release of immune mediators. It has been hypothesised that ambient air pollution may be such an external factor and that the association between air pollution and impaired glucose metabolism
