Assessment of indoor air pollution in causing respiratory illness among women residing in rural areas of Mysuru

Journal of Air Pollution and Health
Introduction: The use of inefficient and harmful fuels and technology within and outside the home is the primary cause of indoor air pollution. Approximately 2.4 billion people on the planet still cook over open flames and inefficient stoves using solid

Perforation Enhances Sound Insulation in Plate Lattice Metamaterials

Small, EarlyView.
Herein, perforations are engineered into face‐centered cubic plate lattice metamaterials to convert normally detrimental openings into acoustically active features. Experiments, finite‐element analyses, and a reduced‐order transfer‐matrix model show that selected perforation geometries activate Helmholtz‐like and cavity‐mediated resonances, enhancing ...

Membrane Gas Separation for CO2 Capture From Flue Gas: Materials, Modules, Processes, and Application Prospects for Coal‐Fired Power Plant Retrofitting

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This review systematically covers the full CO₂ flue gas membrane separation chain, finding it cuts energy use by ∼30% versus amine methods, yet faces stability and cost hurdles for large‐scale application. ABSTRACT As global climate change becomes increasingly severe, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies have emerged as a ...

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.
