With the recent expansion of natural gas extraction in the U.S., CS2 has once again surfaced in air emissions produced from this industrial process. This study revealed that natural gas workers may suffer health effects similar to viscose rayon workers from exposure to CS2.Samiah S AlAngari...
How Does Wildfire Smoke Exposure Affect Existing Health Conditions? Wildfires can make existing health conditions worse. This is the case if you have asthma, COPD and bronchitis, chronic heart disease, or diabetes. The risk of cardiovascular and respiratory effects goes up as the smoke gets more ...
Air pollution poses a persuasive threat to global health, demonstrating widespread detrimental effects on populations worldwide. Exposure to pollutants, notably particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 µm (PM2.5), has been unequivocally linked to a spectrum of adverse health outcomes. A nuanced u...
Moreover, cities need places where their populations are able to increase their levels of physical activity, social interactions, and exposure to ‘natural’ environments. Within this context, urban agriculture might be an attractive solution that can potentially address many of these top priorities [...
Natural gas also has lower primary emissions of particulate matter up to 2.5 μm in size (PM2.5) and particulate matter up to 10 μm in size (PM10) than coal. Exposure to PM2.5 has been linked to human mortality and morbidity [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]. EPA regulations, ...
Similarly, filling the knowledge gaps identified in this review will better define adverse cardiovascular health effects of exposure to wildfire smoke, thus informing risk assessments and potentially leading to the development of targeted interventional strategies to mitigate the health impacts of wildfire ...
(WRF-CMAQ) model32,33,34. The integrated results could provide insight into the adverse effects of population exposure to industry-emitted PMs and could facilitate the formulation of priority control strategies to achieve cost-effective reduction in toxic potency-adjusted PM exposure risks. The ...
The good news is that CBD flowers may offer a natural solution to help improve your sleep. CBD has been found to have calming and relaxing effects on the body, promoting better sleep quality. By interacting with receptors in the endocannabinoid system, CBD may help regulate sleep patterns and...
There will be varying levels of awareness about the possible negative effects of exposure, and varying capacity to prevent it. People with existing illness or previous exposure may be more vulnerable. Some people will have good access to diagnosis and treatment facilities, others will have none. ...
Fig. 5: Conceptual model of multi-aspect synergies and renewable self-reinforcing effects. Grey arrows indicate the linkages between renewables penetration, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy performance, primarily in eastern China. Red and green arrows show respective increase and...
