Summary: Short-term exposure to air pollution is associated with adverse health effects, particularly cardiovascular diseases. This study in Tehran found that ambient air pollutants like CO, SO2, PM2.5, and PM10 were linked to hospital admissions and mortality from CVDs, with females being more vulnerable. Planning and implementing strategies to reduce air pollution are crucial in mitigating the harmful effects of pollutants on public health.

Summary: This study examined the short-term effects of exposure to PM2.5 on cardiovascular diseases hospitalizations in Lanzhou, China. The results showed a positive correlation between PM2.5 and daily admissions for total or cause-specific CVD, with both low and high temperatures increasing the risk. Stratified analysis by gender and age did not reveal any differences. The study also found an almost linear relationship between PM2.5 exposure and cause-specific CVD admissions, with males and the elderly being more vulnerable.

Summary: This survey study assessed the willingness of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Hong Kong, Nepal, and Vietnam to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The results showed that Nepal had the highest willingness to vaccinate, while Hong Kong had the lowest. Age, gender, education level, and history of seasonal influenza vaccination were associated with willingness to vaccinate. Most respondents believed that choosing a vaccine brand with adequate information, having an immunity passport, allowing time off from work for vaccination, and providing subsidies for travel to inconvenient vaccination centers were strategies to enhance vaccine willingness.

Summary: The Hong Kong government conducted a voluntary universal testing exercise during the Omicron wave to identify infected persons early for quarantine and disrupt transmission chains in the community. A survey was conducted to evaluate the participation rates and explore the determinants of voluntary rapid antigen test (RAT) adoption and hesitancy. Understanding the willingness to participate in a voluntary universal testing programme might shed light on effective ways to minimise screening hesitancy in future public health strategies and campaigns.

Summary: Unconventional oil and natural gas development (UOGD) in the United States has expanded rapidly in recent decades, raising concerns about its impact on air quality. This study conducted extensive air monitoring during the development of several large well pads in Broomfield, Colorado, providing a unique opportunity to examine changes in local air toxics and VOC concentrations during well drilling and completions and production. The study identified significant increases in VOC concentrations during drilling operations, highlighting the importance of emissions from synthetic drilling mud. The findings suggest opportunities to mitigate emissions during UOGD operations.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution levels and their disparities in California, U.S. during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The results showed a decrease in NO2 concentrations, especially in urban and high-traffic areas. However, socially vulnerable populations still experienced higher levels of NO2 exposure. The study suggests that reducing NO2 disparities, particularly racial inequity, can be achieved through continued regulatory actions targeting traffic-related NOx emissions.

Summary: This study investigates the chemical composition and oxidative potential of PM10 particles in the Po Valley, Italy, and demonstrates the impact of high levels of atmosphere ammonia. The rural area had significantly higher ammonia concentrations compared to the urban site, resulting in higher levels of secondary inorganic aerosol. Although the SIA components did not contribute significantly to the PM10 oxidative reactivity, they were correlated with the oxidative potential measurements. This suggests that the contribution of SIA to PM oxidative toxicity cannot be ignored.

Summary: Accurate measurement of atmospheric reactive mercury is challenging due to its reactivity and low concentrations. The University of Nevada, Reno Reactive Mercury Active System (RMAS) has been shown to be more accurate than the industry standard, but has limitations including long time resolution and sampling biases. Increasing the sampling flow rate negatively affected RM concentrations, but did not impact the chemical composition of RM captured on membranes.

The accuracy of the models varied across regions, with the ME models exhibiting higher predictions and lower biases. The use of region-specific microenvironmental measurements in the ME model showed potential for accurate prediction of personal PM2.5 exposure.

The concentrations of metallic components in personal PM2.5 samples were found to be significantly different from corresponding fixed-site samples. Personal sampling can reduce exposure misclassifications, and measuring metallic components is useful for exploring health risks and identifying sources of PM2.5.

Summary: Increasing concentrations of microplastics in the Earth's atmosphere could have adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. The deposition rate of airborne microplastics is influenced by both land use and climate, and a global analysis suggests that climate may have a greater impact on the concentration and deposition rate of microplastics than land use.
