Indoor air pollution and cognitive function among older adults in India: a multiple mediation approach through depression and sleep disorders

BMC Geriatrics
Background Studies across multiple countries reveal that depression and sleep disorders can lead to cognitive decline. This study aims to speculate on the effect of different sources of indoor air pollution on cognition and to explore the mediation ...

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.

The Health Impacts of Exposure to Indoor Air Pollution from Solid Fuels in Developing Countries: Knowledge, Gaps, and Data Needs [PDF]

Globally, almost three billion people rely on biomass (wood, charcoal, crop residues, and dung) and coal as their primary source of domestic energy. Exposure to indoor air pollution from the combustion of solid fuels has been implicated, with varying ...

Oxygen Vacancy‐Rich S‐Scheme Heterojunction Photocatalyst With Enhanced Interfacial Charge Transfer for Round‐the‐Clock Formaldehyde Degradation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work addresses the critical challenges of severe charge recombination and the dependence on constant light illumination in photocatalysis. We propose a strategy centered on an oxygen vacancy‐rich S‐scheme heterojunction, which enables precise regulation of charge carrier behavior and achieves long‐lasting photocatalytic performance.

Fire‐Safe Polymeric Insulation Foams for Energy‐Efficient and Low‐Carbon Buildings

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes recent advances in fire‐safe polymeric insulation foams, emphasizing the balance among flame retardancy, thermal insulation, mechanical reliability, and long‐term durability. By linking material‐level thermophysical properties with building cooling‐energy demand and operational carbon emissions, it establishes a ...

The Critical Role of Economies of Scale: A Techno‐Economic Assessment of Small‐ Versus Large‐Scale Biogas Upgrading in Rural Tanzania

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Small‐scale biogas upgrading can improve methane quality but remains financially unattractive to individual rural households. Community‐scale implementation substantially lowers energy costs, demonstrating that economies of scale are critical to making purified biogas a viable clean‐cooking option in Tanzania.

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...
