Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition
The ignition and combustion of particle clouds are strongly affected by particle interactions. This study uses spectroscopy to examine effects of particle size, water content, and cloud density. Results show ignition delay rises with larger size and density, whereas combustion duration depends mainly on water and density due to moisture‐driven ...

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

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Research Priorities for Robust Climate Assessments in the United States
Abstract Scientific assessments play a critical role in synthesizing evidence to support evidence‐based decision‐making in many sectors and topics. For climate change, large‐scale assessments like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United States (U.S.) National Climate Assessment (NCA) reports help many different users—from ...

Inside the Fire Plume Chemical Interactions: A Review on Key Processes and Future Directions
Abstract Fire plumes are rising columns of heated air masses, consisting of gaseous and particulate matter generated by combustion, affecting air quality, climate and public health. The chemical species released undergo secondary reactions and participate in chemical and physical interactions, altering the properties of the fire plume.

Contrasting Effects of Phosphate on Arsenic Mobility and Human Exposure in Agricultural Soils
Abstract Arsenic in agricultural soils may pose human health risks due to elevated concentrations and increased soil ingestion associated with dust generation. However, the actual exposure depends on the fraction of As that becomes bioaccessible under gastrointestinal conditions. This study evaluates As mobility, bioaccessibility, and associated health
