Inflation, Race, and Legislation—The Erosion in the Real Value of Monetary Compensation for Miners' Occupational Lung Disease in South Africa, 1973–2024

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 335-344, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background For much of the 20th century, the South African mining industry had a statutory compensation system for pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis characterized by gross racial inequality. This study examines the impact of inflation over the period 1973–2024 on the real value of miners' lung disease compensation, including the effect of the ...

Exploring the Spillover Effect of Supply Chain Digitalisation on Pollution Emissions Through Social Network Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 5577-5597, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The supply chain consists of interconnected businesses and organisations responsible for the flow of goods and services. As firms increasingly adopt digital technologies, the spillover effects of supply chain digitalisation (SCD) on environmental performance remain underexplored.

Immortalization of Human Adult Alveolar Epithelial Cells to Study Environmental Exposures of the Distal Lung

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Alveolar epithelial cell type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) cells make up the saccular gas exchange units of the lung, called alveoli. Formation of alveoli during lung development accounts for the expansive surface area of the lung, allowing for proper respiration and delivery of oxygen to the body.

Synergistic Enhancement of Modified‐PVDF Humidity Sensitivity via Chemical Adsorption‐Ionic Conductivity and its Application in Intelligent Powered Air‐Purifying Respirator

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
The study developed a PVDF/SiO2 humidity sensor with superhydrophobic properties and integrated the humidity sensor into the intelligent powered air‐purifying respirator (IPAPR) for breath monitoring. Coupled with the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) machine learning prediction algorithm, it enables feedforward control of the fan to achieve respiratory ...

Spatial Layout of Trees on Farms Influences Magnitude and Timing of River Flow Peak

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Effectiveness of agroforestry as a lowland NFM strategy is spatially modelled for a range of planting layouts. Peak flow for a 10‐year storm was attenuated by 2.6% and delayed by 19 min with just 0.6% catchment tree coverage under riparian planting alone. Increasing coverage provided a strongly diminishing return in flood peak attenuation.
