The authors regret a typing error in Table 1 concerning the sequence of the NVGI_P5318 probe for norovirus I detection. Modified LNA bases (in bold underlined in corrected revision) do not appear in the original published version and resulted in poor PCR efficiency.

BackgroundThe beneficial impacts of greenspace availability on mental health are well-documented. However, longitudinal evidence using a spatial lifecourse perspective is rare, leaving the dynamics of how greenspace influences mental health across the lifecourse unclear. This study first uses prospective birth cohort data to examine the associations between greenspace availability in childhood (0–16 years)

Countries in South Asia are suffering severe PM2.5 pollution with rapid economic development, impacting human health and the environment. Whilst much attention has been given to understanding the contribution of primary emissions, the contribution of agriculture to PM2.5 concentrations, especially from agricultural ammonia (NH3) emissions, remains less explored. Using an advanced regional atmospheric

BackgroundPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of widespread persistent chemicals, which may have obesogenic effects during the fetal period. This study investigated the long-term association of maternal plasma PFAS concentrations at delivery and their mixture with child body mass index (BMI) and the risk of Overweight or Obesity (OWO) at the age of 2–18 years. MethodsThe study included

BackgroundMounting evidence links exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) to impairment in cognitive functioning. ObjectivesTo determine if short-term, controlled exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) adversely affects one or more cognitive function domains. MethodsWe carried out a double-blinded crossover design with 28 healthy, adult volunteers. Volunteers were exposed to two conditions for 120 min

In numerical model simulations, data assimilation (DA) on the initial conditions and bias correction (BC) of model outputs have been proven to be promising approaches to improving PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of ≤ 2.5 μm) predictions. This study compared the optimization effects of these two methods and developed a new scheme that combines DA and BC simultaneously

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is increasingly recognized for its detrimental effects on human health, with substantial evidence linking exposure to various forms of cell death and dysfunction across multiple organ systems. This review examines key cell death mechanisms triggered by PM2.5, including PANoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis, while other forms such as oncosis, paraptosis

High ambient heat can directly influence blood pressure (BP) through the vasodilation of the skin vasculature and indirectly by affecting urinary volume and electrolyte levels. We evaluated the direct and urine electrolyte-mediated effects of ambient temperature on BP. We pooled 5,624 person-visit data from a community-based stepped-wedge randomized control trial in southwest coastal Bangladesh from

The authors regret that the supplementary appendix was missing from the initial published article due to an unexpected editorial error. This corrigendum provides the appendix for the article.

The authors regret that in the introduction of their recently published paper “Pesticides can be a substantial source of trifluoroacetate (TFA) to water resources”, they mistakenly named fluroxypyr instead of sulfoxaflor as a potential parent compound for TFA formation. The authors hereby wish to correct this mistake.

Nanomaterials are increasingly being used in road engineering with the development of road construction technology. The smoke suppression performance of asphalt can be substantially improved using organic nano-montmorillonite (OMMT)/styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) block modifiers. Pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (PY-GC–MS), fluorescence microscopy (FM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG)

Organic fertilizer application promotes the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), yet the factors driving temporal differences in ARG abundance under long-term organic fertilizer application remain unclear. This study investigated the temporal dynamics of ARG diversity and abundance in both bulk and rhizosphere soils over 17 years (2003–2019), and explored microbial evolution strategies

Excessive nitrogen exported to water bodies affects the balance of ecosystem and poses a threat to human health. Although the concept of water purification service helps quantify nitrogen export, the impact of river transport remains unclear. This study focused on nitrogen as a pollutant by utilizing the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model to assess nitrogen export

Carbonaceous aerosols (CA), composed of black carbon (BC) and organic matter (OM), significantly impact the climate. Light absorption properties of CA, particularly of BC and brown carbon (BrC), are crucial due to their contribution to global and regional warming. We present the absorption properties of BC (bAbs,BC) and BrC (bAbs,BrC) inferred using Aethalometer data from 44 European sites covering

Plot-scale natural attenuation models provide valuable insights into localized pollutant behavior but struggle to account for regional-scale hydrological processes. Existing research has predominantly concentrated on single processes, lacking comprehensive models to describe the output flux of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by transport and transformation from soil at a regional scale. To address

The rapid development of China’s aviation industry has caused a rapid increase in airport PM2.5 emissions. This study uses the Global Exposure Mortality Model (GEMM) to evaluate the monthly deaths caused by aircraft activities at 164 airports in China from 2015 to 2023, based on the PM2.5 concentration of airport aircraft activities and the detection data of the China National Environmental Monitoring

The health impacts of climate change have been increasingly recognised for the past years. However, it remains unclear how this has translated into funding for health adaptation and health co-benefits of climate mitigation.

PFAS may impair bone health, but effects of PFAS exposure assessed during pregnancy and the perimenopause—life stages marked by rapidly changing bone metabolism—on later life bone health are unknown.

Identifying modifiable environmental determinants of health is important for improving the resilience of populations to infectious disease. We examined the association between residential greenspace and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality using a Danish Nationwide Cohort, and estimate the potential health benefits of greening initiatives.

Phthalates have been linked to cardiovascular risk factors. Exposure to chemicals with endocrine disrupting properties during the pubertal period can interfere with normal endocrine processes. This study aims to determine whether adolescent urinary concentrations of phthalate metabolites are associated with indices of overweight and cardiovascular risk in 13–15-year-old children. In this Dutch observational

Cresyl diphenyl phosphate (CDP), a novel organophosphate ester (OPE), has been increasingly detected in various environmental and human samples. However, its toxicity, mechanisms, and health risks remain largely unknown. In this work, we investigated CDP-induced hepatic steatosis through Liver X Receptor α (LXRα) pathway across the molecular interactions, signaling pathways, cell functions, animal

Bisphenol S (BPS) derivatives have potential reproductive developmental toxicity and have been found in the environment and in breast milk. The level of infant exposure and the source are currently unknown. In this study, we investigated BPS and six derivatives (together referred to as BPs) in urine samples from mothers and infants, indoor dust, breast milk and infant formula in Beijing, China. BPS

The burden of diseases attributable to air pollution is comparable to those of global health risks such as unhealthy diets and tobacco smoking, with many air pollution sources also emitting climate heating gases. In this UK study we estimated the co-benefits of Net Zero (NZ) climate policy on the health benefits of air pollution reduction, increased active travel, outdoor exposure inequalities and

Emerging research has suggested a link between ambient temperature and mental and neurological conditions such as depression and dementia. This systematic review aims to summarize the epidemiological evidence on the effects of ambient temperature on mental and neurological conditions in older adults, who may be more vulnerable to temperature-related health effects compared to younger individuals.
