Nano Select, EarlyView.Nanoplastic hydrophobicity drives adverse effects in the lung. Single intratracheal administration of poly(vinyl acetate‐co‐alcohol) nanoplastics with varying surface hydrophobicity shows that the more hydrophobic nanoplastics increase prevalence of coarsely vacuolated alveolar macrophages, induce transient respiratory inflammation and mild collagen ...

RAB20 deficiency promotes the development of silicosis via NLRP3 inflammasome
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Silicosis is a worldwide serious occupational disease that is caused by inhalation of silica crystals. However, little is known about the pathogenesis mechanism of silicosis. We performed single-cell sequencing in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from

Modelling silicosis: existence, uniqueness and basic properties of solutions [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We present a model for the silicosis disease mechanism following the original proposal by Tran, Jones, and Donaldson (1995) [9], as modified recently by da Costa, Drmota, and Grinfeld (2020) [4]. The model consists in an infinite ordinary differential equation system of coagulation-fragmentation-death type.

Analysis of PM2.5 Morphology, Composition and Health Risk in a Multi‐Chair Dental Clinic
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) at high concentrations in dental clinics poses significant health risks to healthcare professionals. However, the morphology and chemical composition of PM2.5 in specific environments are not yet fully elucidated.

AN UNUSUAL FORM OF SILICOSIS IN A STONE-CUTTER [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2007 Silicon dioxide or silica is the earth’s most abundant mineral. The primary pulmonary illness attributable to silica exposure is silicosis, which is observed in three forms: classic, accelerated and acute. A case of silicosis is presented in this article

Mediterranean Cyclones in a Changing Climate: A Review on Their Socio‐Economic Impacts
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract The Mediterranean Basin, renowned for its cultural, ecological, and climatic significance, frequently endures high‐impact weather events driven by Mediterranean cyclones (Medcyclones), atmospheric low‐pressure systems characterized by counterclockwise wind circulation. These meteorological phenomena, sometimes comparable to hurricanes in their

Social determinants of an occupational lung disease: Workers’ narratives on silicosis
SSM: Qualitative Research in Health, 2023 Silicosis is a preventable occupational lung disease caused by inhaled silica dust. Solutions to prevent silicosis ranging from engineering controls to respirator use have been validated for nearly a century, but many workers are still at-risk of this ...
