Summary: Air pollution caused by industrialization and modernization is considered a major threat to global health and obesity. Epidemiological studies indicate a correlation between exposure to various air pollutants and overweight/obesity. Mechanisms such as inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic imbalance, intestinal flora disorders, and epigenetic modifications may contribute to the increased risk of obesity caused by air pollution. Macro and micro-level measures should be taken to prevent the negative effects of air pollution on obesity prevalence.

Summary: The multi-city epidemiologic study revealed substantial spatial heterogeneity in city-specific mortality risk estimates associated with PM2.5 exposure across the United States. Factors such as PM2.5 composition and sources were identified as potential contributors to this heterogeneity, with only PM2.5 correlation with PM10 and long-term PM2.5 mass concentration explaining approximately 10% of the total variability. This analysis contributes to understanding the complex factors underlying the observed spatial heterogeneity in PM2.5-mortality effect estimates.

Summary: This literature review summarizes toxicological and epidemiological studies of ultrafine particles (UFPs) from different transport modes, including vehicle exhaust, non-exhaust, shipping, aviation, and rail. The results suggest that particles from both fossil and biodiesel sources exhibit toxic effects, with impacts on the lung, cardiovascular system, and brain. Further research is needed to better understand the relative toxicity of UFPs from different transport modes and their implications for health risk assessment.

Summary: The study highlighted the potential hazard associated with exposure to incidental nanoparticles in industrial settings. Results indicated that process-generated nanoparticles and fine particles possess higher toxicity potential compared to engineered nanoparticles in terms of mass per area unit. However, the presence of a mucociliary apparatus as a defense mechanism significantly attenuated the observed toxic effects.

Summary: Diverse industries have incorporated engineered nanoparticles (ENP) into their production processes, increasing the risk of worker inhalation exposure. In vitro models, particularly using air-liquid interface (ALI) cell cultures, are valuable for studying ENP toxicity. When comparing submerged and ALI conditions for ENP exposure, it was found that ALI cultures were more sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of ENP on human alveolar epithelial-like cells.

Summary: The direct effects of inhaled harmful constituents primarily affect the airways, but these compounds can also be rapidly absorbed and cause systemic effects. This study combines in vitro systems to evaluate the neurological effects of inhaled compounds. The results demonstrate that exposure to e-cigarette vapor induces the production of cytokines in lung cells and the translocation of compounds across the cell culture. Furthermore, exposure-related changes in neuronal electrical activity were observed when the cell culture medium was transferred to neuronal cells. This approach can realistically assess the neurotoxic effects of inhaled compounds and contribute to future risk assessment strategies based on mechanisms.

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

Summary: This study examines the association between urban Green and blue spaces (GBS) exposure and Emotion and behavior problems (EBP) in youth populations. The findings suggest that higher exposure to GBS, particularly green spaces (GS) and blue spaces (BS), is associated with a decrease in the risk of developing total difficulties in young individuals. The joint effect of GS and BS may also contribute to the decrease in EBPs.

Summary: The present study investigated the sustainable approach for wastewater treatment using waste algal blooms. The biochar produced by the marine algae Ulva reticulata was used to remove chromium, nickel, and zinc from aqueous solutions. The study examined the adsorbents' properties and stability using SEM/EDX, FTIR, and XRD. The results showed that the biochar had high removal efficiency for the toxic metals, and the packed bed column effectively removed the heavy metal ions. The Thomas and Adams-Bohart models were found to best fit the regression values, and desorption studies were conducted to understand the sorption and elution processes.

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.
