Health Management Planning for Landscape Fire Smoke Events: A Literature Review and Suggested Human‐Centred Framework for Resource Development

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
Landscape fire smoke (LFS) events are increasing with climate change, placing priority populations at greater risk of health harm. A literature review across Australia, Canada and the United States found only four LFS health plans, revealing a critical gap. We propose a design thinking framework to co‐design tailored LFS health action plans.

Comparing Surgical and N95 Mask Use on Resting Oxygen Consumption in Healthy Young Adults [PDF]

, 2022
Face masks reduce the spread of COVID-19, but their impact on respiratory physiology largely remains unknown. While some studies found that exercising while wearing cloth or surgical face masks has no effect on performance or muscle oxygenation, studies ...

Atmospheric Aerosol Neurotoxicity and Parkinson's Disease: Mechanisms and Perspectives

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
Schematic overview of the pathways and pathological mechanisms connecting atmospheric aerosol exposure to PD. Atmospheric aerosols, including PM2.5 and nanometer/ultrafine particles loaded with metal particles, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins, enter the body predominantly via pulmonary ...

Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to Avian Influenza Among Poultry Workers in Cambodia

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Live bird markets (LBMs) are high‐risk environments for the amplification and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIVs). In Cambodia, limited data exist on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among poultry workers, who represent a key occupational risk group.

Hidden Mould in the Air: A Practical Narrative Mini‐Review of Invasive Mould Infection Prevention for High‐Risk Patients and Clinicians

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Airborne mould spores, including those of the Aspergillus species, are ubiquitous both indoors and outdoors. While they are generally harmless, inhaled spores can cause severe infections, particularly invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, in patients with impaired immune defences.
