Understanding the Occurrence and Fate of Atmospheric Microplastics and Their Potential Risks to Human Health: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Analysis

Understanding the Occurrence and Fate of Atmospheric Microplastics and Their Potential Risks to Human Health: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Analysis

The pollution of the environment with degraded plastics and microplastics is an emerging concern attracting global attention [8]. Exposure to microplastic particles (MP) results in adverse outcomes, which can be classified into physical effects (such as those related to particle size, shape, and concentration) and chemical effects (involving harmful chemicals associated with MPs) [9].

The Impact of COVID-19 Health Measures on Adults With Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Cross-Sectional Study

The Impact of COVID-19 Health Measures on Adults With Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Cross-Sectional Study

Living environment items included home cleaning products; cooking odors and smoke; and outdoor items included pollution from industry, farming, and traffic. Next, participants responded (yes or no) if they were able to access a family doctor or a doctor who treats MCS, both in-person and online health care visits. Satisfaction with visits was rated on a 5-point Likert scale from very dissatisfied to very satisfied.

Travel Distance Between Participants in US Telemedicine Sessions With Estimates of Emissions Savings: Observational Study

Travel Distance Between Participants in US Telemedicine Sessions With Estimates of Emissions Savings: Observational Study

Fossil fuel–based transportation directly causes air pollution by releasing particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. Additionally, the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), including carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel consumption (including transportation-related consumption), contributes profoundly to climate change [13]. The heat-trapping properties of CO2 and other GHGs are considered primary drivers of global warming [14].

Indigenous Food Systems Changes and Resiliency: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Indigenous Food Systems Changes and Resiliency: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Indigenous food systems (IFS) refer to the connections between Indigenous groups and the land; however, climate change, colonization, and pollution have resulted in detrimental impacts to the environment and access to it [1]. This influences food sovereignty and security for Indigenous groups in Canada, the United States, Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Australia in similar ways due to the shared impacts of Western-European colonization [2,3].

Risk of De Novo Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy After Exposure to PM1 and PM2.5 During the Period From Preconception to Delivery: Birth Cohort Study

Risk of De Novo Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy After Exposure to PM1 and PM2.5 During the Period From Preconception to Delivery: Birth Cohort Study

Several studies have indicated that air pollution exposure during the preconception period is associated with a risk of termination of pregnancy [16] and gestational diabetes mellitus [17]. The majority of previous studies only focused on the association between air pollution and maternal health in either specific trimesters or the total pregnancy [18,19]. The dynamic association between fine PM exposure and HDPs at different gestational weeks remains to be investigated in Chinese populations.

Assessment of Personal Exposure to Particulate Air Pollution in Different Microenvironments and Traveling by Several Modes of Transportation in Bogotá, Colombia: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study (ITHACA)

Assessment of Personal Exposure to Particulate Air Pollution in Different Microenvironments and Traveling by Several Modes of Transportation in Bogotá, Colombia: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study (ITHACA)

Numerous studies have provided information on the effects of air pollution on users of multiple modes of transport, including walking, bicycle, vehicle, and public transportation [24-27]. These studies grouped information from a considerable number of users of different modes of transport in cities, mainly in the United States and Europe [24-27].

The Association Between Short-term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Patient-Level Home Blood Pressure Among Patients With Chronic Cardiovascular Diseases in a Web-Based Synchronous Telehealth Care Program: Retrospective Study

The Association Between Short-term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Patient-Level Home Blood Pressure Among Patients With Chronic Cardiovascular Diseases in a Web-Based Synchronous Telehealth Care Program: Retrospective Study

Air pollution is a great hazard to public health [1-5]. Previous studies have shown that long-term exposure to ambient air pollution increases respiratory morbidity and cardiopulmonary disease–related mortality [6,7], while short-term exposure increases cardiovascular disease–related mortality and nonfatal events [8].
