This study investigated the influence of three indoor environmental parameters: ventilation (expressed as air exchange rate, h−1), temperature, and relative humidity, on phthalate concentration in dust and in estimated airborne. We monitored environmental parameters and collected dust samples in 327 bedrooms in Tianjin, China. Air exchange rates were estimated using occupants-generated CO2 as a tracer

Artificial intelligence has transformed both plankton dynamics and hazardous material management under toxic environments by enhanced hazard prediction in detecting how toxins affect plankton population and potentially uncovering greater depth of ecological insights. In proposed study, nonlinear autoregressive exogenous neural network coupled with Levenberg-Marquardt is efficaciously selected to model

Regarding the issue of missing supplementary materials, it is hereby clarified that the relevant charts (Tables S1, S3, S4; Figures S1, S2, S3, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S11.) were fully submitted during the initial submission and included in the review process.

The intestinal microbiome is essential for gastrointestinal and overall health, yet its response to air pollution in children remains underexplored. In a study involving 412 young children from the ENVIRONAGE cohort, stool samples were analysed via Illumina Miseq sequencing to assess microbiome alpha diversity (observed richness, species evenness, and Shannon diversity) and composition. Exposure to

BackgroundMenstrual and intimate care products (MICPs) such as tampons, menstrual pads, menstrual cups, and adult novelties are widely used worldwide for women’s menstrual comfort or pleasure, respectively. However, growing consumer concerns regarding the presence of hazardous chemicals in these products have been raised. MethodsThe aim of this study was to obtain an accurate overview of potential

While several models have been developed to describe the temporal evolution of flocs, many assume constant yield strength, which limits their applicab…
