PM10 promotes an inflammatory cytokine response that may impact SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionIn the last decades, a decrease in air quality has been observed, mainly associated with anthropogenic activities. Air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), have been associated with adverse effects on human health, such as ...

Twenty‐Year Longitudinal Cohort Study of Cancer Incidence and Mortality Among Workers in Two Primary Aluminum Prebake Smelters

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, aluminum production has been transitioning towards lower polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon‐emitting prebake smelters. This study explored the risk of cancer and mortality over 20 years follow‐up among a cohort of aluminum prebake smelter workers ...

Vertical Distribution of Air Particulate Matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) in Different Regions of Tehran

Aerosol and Air Quality Research
Mass concentrations of particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) were observed at different heights (1.5, 3, 9, 15, 18, and 290 m) in Tehran using affordable particulate matter sensors (Plantower PMS5003) to study their vertical distribution. In general,

Surfactant‐Enhanced Electrospun Nanofiber Filters for Efficient Viral and Bacterial Inactivation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous filters functionalized with surfactants (CTAB, CPC, and SDS) were developed for air filtration applications. The PAN nanofiber mats enable efficient particulate matter capture while simultaneously providing antimicrobial and antiviral activity against bacteria (E. coli and S.

Linking Environmental Health and Civic Health: An Analysis of Air Pollution and Charitable Giving

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of air pollution on charitable giving. We suggest that the burdens associated with poor air quality are associated with a dampening of civic and philanthropic engagement. Analyzing 12 years of county‐level data from the United States with fixed‐effects OLS and instrumental variables regressions, we identify a ...
