While existing evidence indicates adverse effects transport-related their health, a comprehensive is necessary consolidate findings various urban environmental exposures’ children’s development. Recent Findings There consistent how pollution negatively affects respiratory health learning performance, increasing susceptibility diseases in adult life. Scientific heat while less researched, that they affect health. On contrary, exposure seems benefit or mitigate these effects, suggesting potential strategy promote settings. Summary underscores substantial mental It highlights can extend into adulthood, affecting academic opportunities well-being beyond acknowledging necessity for more research mechanisms associations with noise exposure, advocates prioritizing policy changes planning interventions. includes minimizing enhancing vegetation, particularly school environments, ensure healthy lifelong

Respiratory tract infection is one of the most common reasons for both morbidity and mortality worldwide. High attention has been paid to etiological tracing respiratory since advent COVID-19. In this study, we aimed evaluate epidemiological features pathogens in infection, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. A total 7668 patients with who admitted Qilu Hospital Shandong University from March 2019 Dec 2021 were retrospectively included. The specimens detected using a commercial multiplex PCR-based panel assay including influenza virus (Flu-A), H1N1 (H1N1), H3N2 (H3N2), B (Flu-B), parainfluenza (PIV), syncytial (RSV), adenovirus (ADV), Boca (Boca), human Rhinovirus (HRV), Metapneumovirus (MPV), Coronavirus (COV), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Chlamydia (Ch). positive rates compared chi-square test. Compared 2019, rate pathogen detection January 2020 December was significantly lower, Flu-A. strains 40.18% pandemic, 297 cases (4.69%) mixed two or more detected.

Childhood diseases correspond to major public health issues. A large number of studies using different approaches provide evidence regarding effects environmental exposures, encompassed in the exposome, on children's health. We aimed summarize overall level (LoE) from all streams exposome child For 88 selected chemical and urban factors, we retrieved conclusions agency reports or literature reviews published between 2015 2021 health, including cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodevelopmental, respiratory other outcomes. Adapted versions PRISMA flowchart AMSTAR-2 tool were used select assess quality systematic PubMed SCOPUS databases. each factor-outcome pair, three (epidemiological, toxicological mechanistic, latter corresponding vitro silico approaches) translated into stream-specific LoEs then combined an LoE ranging “very unlikely” likely”.

Short-term associations of low-level fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with cardiorespiratory hospitalizations in 139 Japanese cities

There have been few studies in non-western countries on the relationship between low levels of daily fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure and morbidity or mortality, impact PM2.5 concentrations below 15 μg/m3, which is latest World Health Organization Air Quality Guideline (WHO AQG) value for 24-h mean, not yet clear. We assessed associations low-level cardiorespiratory admissions Japan. collected hospital admission count data, air pollutant meteorological condition data recorded from April 2016 to March 2019 139 Japanese cities. City-specific estimates were obtained conditional logistic regression models a time-stratified case-crossover design pooled by random-effect models. estimated that every 10-μg/m3 increase concurrent-day concentration was related 0.52% cardiovascular (95% CI: 0.13–0.92%) 1.74% respiratory 1.41–2.07%). These values nearly same when datasets filtered contain only <15 μg/m3. The exposure–response curves showed approximately sublinear-to-linear with no indication thresholds. diseases weakened after adjusting nitrogen dioxide sulfur dioxide, but almost unchanged additionally adjusted other pollutants. This study demonstrated hospitalizations might persist at concentrations, including those WHO AQG value. Our findings suggest updated guideline may still be insufficient perspective public health.

Systems for rating bodies of evidence used in systematic reviews of air pollution exposure and reproductive and children’s health: a methodological survey

Environmental Health, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 23(1)

Опубликована: Март 28, 2024

Abstract Background Translating findings from systematic reviews assessing associations between environmental exposures and reproductive children’s health into policy recommendations requires valid transparent evidence grading. Methods We aimed to evaluate systems for grading bodies of used in reproductive/ outcomes, by conducting a methodological survey air pollution research, comprising comprehensive search assessment all relevant reviews. To the frameworks rating internal validity primary studies (multiple studies), we considered whether how specific criteria or domains were operationalized address reproductive/children’s health, e.g., timing exposure was evaluated with regard vulnerable developmental stages. Results Eighteen out 177 (9.8%) formal body evidence; 15 distinct tools studies, nine different used, multiple modifications applied cited approaches. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development, Evaluations (GRADE) framework, neither developed specifically this field, most commonly approaches individual evidence, respectively. Overall, identified highly heterogeneous both their comprehensiveness applicability research. Conclusion Establishing wider use more appropriate methods is instrumental strengthening review methodologies, effective development implementation public policies, particularly protecting pregnant persons children.

Опубликована: Авг. 1, 2024

Environmental air pollution presents a considerable risk to global respiratory health. If critical levels are exceeded, inhaled pollutants can lead the development of dysfunction and provoke exacerbation in those with pre-existing chronic disease. Over 90% population currently reside areas where environmental is considered excessive-with adverse effects ranging from acute airway irritation complex immunomodulatory alterations. This narrative review provides an up-to-date perspective concerning impact on health function describes underpinning mechanisms that contribute progression

Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter brought by dust storms (dust PM2.5) poses a significant risk children's health, particularly those in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To quantify the impact of PM2.5 on children, current research focuses acute respiratory infection (ARI) as key health outcome, given its contribution child mortality. However, relationship used evaluate disease burden is mainly based total concentration, neglecting specific effect distinct from other PM2.5.This study aimed develop dust-specific exposure-response function (ERF) ARI children <5 years age (U5-ARI) for future assessments. We combined population data derived Demographic Health Survey covering 53 LMICs, with environmental data, including gridded concentration PM2.5. was outcome interest, which defined standard questionnaire-based method. The integration two well-recognized datasets, matched each participant at community level. analyzed linear association between annual average odds U5-ARI logistic regression fixed effects after adjusting multiple covariates. also spline method ERF. Based function, we estimated dust-associated across 100 LMICs compared it results well-established functions mass. analysis 1,223,118 showed that 10 μg/m3 increase associated 7.43% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.77-10.15%) U5-ARI. model indicated increased monotonically linearly no evident threshold. In 2017, ERF, number be 159,000 CI: 153,000-165,000), consistently higher than estimates ERFs mass (142,000 [95% 97,000-181,000] or 114,000 80,000-153,000]). long-term contributed 12-13% all affected 2000 2017. geographic hotspots were arid populous areas South Asia Africa.
