CBU International Conference Proceedings, 2018 Despite the effort done by member states during the last decade, failure in the implementation of the Ambient Air Quality Directive is being continuously registered in many European cities for different air pollutants. One of the biggest concerns in Bulgaria is the exceeded PM10 concentration in the ambient air, measured in all six air quality zones ...

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates
The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018 The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

Exposure-Response Associations Between Air Pollution and Laboratory-Confirmed Influenza Cases in Anhui Province, China: A Two-Stage Modeling Study. [PDF]
GeohealthAbstract Influenza remains a global public health and socio‐economic threat, and air pollution is believed to increase its risk. However, relatively few studies have focused specifically on laboratory‐confirmed influenza (LCI), which limits the precision and reliability of existing evidence on this association.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study, through multi‐omics approaches and animal models, revealed that air pollutant PM10 exacerbates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by suppressing FNBP1 expression and impairing the cytotoxic function of CD56dim NK cells. The “PM10–FNBP1–NK cells” axis provided novel insights into the environmental pathogenesis of RA and suggested ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A green, thermoreversible self‐assembly strategy yields a multifunctional and recyclable supramolecular nanofibrous membrane. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet acts as a heterogeneous nucleation‐templating agent, simultaneously modulating the supramolecular crystal packing while tailoring the nanofibrous architecture for elite performance.
