Air pollution was indicated to be a key factor contributing to the aggressive spread of influenza viruses, whereas uncertainty still exists regarding to whether distinctions exist between influenza subtypes. Our study quantified the impact of five air pollutants on influenza subtype outbreaks in...

Toxicants and disease data lay a solid foundation for assessment and management of ecological and environmental health risks. However, there is still a lack of available localized database of health risk and toxicity of pollutants in China. Based on the collected, organized and localized data on...

In this study, the spatiotemporal variabilities and characteristics of ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) were reconstructed, and the interaction between meteorological conditions and the co-occurrence of O₃ and PM_2.5 in Zhuhai, a city in the Pearl River Delta (China), was analysed. The ...

Background: Previous studies have indicated that chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acids (Cl-PFESAs), when used as an alternative to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), result in kidney toxicity. However, their co-exposure with heavy metals, has not yet been described. Objectives: ...

Air pollutants have significant direct and indirect adverse effects on public health. To explore the relationship between air pollutants and meteorological conditions on the hospitalization for respiratory diseases, we collected a whole year of daily major air pollutants' concentrations from...

Background: While increasing studies confirmed the adverse effects of indoor air pollution (IAP) on cardiopulmonary systems, less is known about the impact of IAP on child's brain. Objective: To explore the associations between multiple indoor air pollutants exposures and...

By employing the air pollution data including particular matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants (SO₂, NO₂, CO, and O₃) measured over 130 cities in China from April 2014 to March 2015, the spatial and seasonal variations of air pollution are analyzed. The 9 representative regions including Beijing,...

Background: Air pollution exposures are increasingly suspected to influence the development of childhood adiposity, especially focusing on outdoor exposure, but few studies investigated indoor exposure and childhood obesity. Objectives: We aimed to examine the association between exposure to...

E-waste usually refers to the discarded electrical or electronic equipment that is no longer used. Informal e-waste recycling methods, such as burning, roasting, acid leaching, and shredding, had resulted in serious air pollution, which is a prominent risk factor for children's health. However, the ...

Toluene is a typical anthropogenic pollutant that has profound impacts on air quality, climate change, and human health, but its sources and sinks over forests surrounding megacities remain unclear. The Nanling Mountains (NM) is a large subtropical forest and is adjacent to the Pearl River Delta...
