Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) are common indoor pests found in close association with humans. bug feces have been identified as the primary source of environmental histamine, an emerging contaminant that could pose a potential threat to human health. Therefore, it is critical we understand stability histamine homes, along mitigation strategies so can reduce exposure and health risks. In this study characterized over time on 2 surfaces (unfinished wood, fabric), discovering aging at room temperature, course 9 mo, showed no significant changes level biogenic amine. As appears slow degrade its own, evaluated efficacy various cleaning methods for reducing or removing from these surfaces. The most effective fabric were bleach, hydrogen peroxide, laundry cycle, while multi-purpose cleaner, peroxide unfinished wood. Overall, reduction was influenced by more aggressive (hard scrubbing) cleaners known stains (hydrogen bleach). results will enhance our ability contaminant.

House mites frequently trigger allergic conditions. Although conventional treatments are effective, they can result in drug resistance and pose risks to the environment, human health, non-target organisms. Therefore, this study evaluates new botanical extracts for their biological activities against Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart 1897; Pyroglyphidae), D. farinae (Hughes 1961; Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank 1781; Acaridae), not only control them but also reduce allergens (dead bodies faecal particles) by keeping away. It is noteworthy that of these plants, Allium cepa L. (Alliaceae) Solanum melongena (Solanaceae) peel extracts, as well leaves Hibiscus sabdariffa (Malvaceae), were tested first time present bioacaricides, while Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) H. proved be repellents mite species. Based on LC50 values, A. cepa, Beta vulgaris, S. had most potent toxic effects species, Aloe vera, Capsicum annum, P. strongest repellent activity at highest concentration. These natural plant may have valuable potential acaricidal products.

Dust samples were collected from Irish homes. House Mite and storage mites separated the dust. The microbiome resistome of originating dust assessed using a culture-independent approach. bacterial predominantly populated by Staphylococci. There was highly significant (P = 0.005; Spearman's rank test) correlation between One-hundred eighteen antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) associated with 176 Both contained ARGs encoding for multi drug resistances, macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B, mobile genetic elements, Beta-lactam, Tetracycline Aminoglycosides.

The indoor home environment plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of respiratory diseases, including asthma. Researchers, clinicians, and patients would benefit from self-reported questionnaires to assess environmental exposures that may impact on health. To review instruments for assessing asthma characterise their content, development, psychometric properties. A scoping was conducted with content assessment. literature search Embase PubMed using key words housing quality, questionnaire index terms, covering articles published English between January 2000 July 2023. Articles which or single item questions were used middle- high-income countries included. We excluded required an interviewer onsite observations those low-income countries. screened 1584 identify 44 studies containing measuring exposures. 36 (82%) cross sectional, 35 (80%) had sample size greater than 1000 participants, 29 (66%) children. Most (86%, n = 38) binary (yes/no) multiple-choice responses. 25 (57%) included recall period 12 months. 32 (73%) response rate 50%. Dampness, biological (e.g. mould), second-hand tobacco smoke most assessed Childhood (54%, 24) symptoms (36%, 16) examined related outcomes. exposure associated adverse outcomes damp (79%, 35). 13 (29%) developed instrument by adapting previous almost all (n 42 studies, 95%) not been validated. did comprehensive, validated There is need develop validate robust but pragmatic instrument, incorporating findings this review. significantly affects diseases like help researchers, doctors, patients, there people can use report factors at might influence aim environments. looked what these measured, how they developed, reliable were. study review, provides overview available evidence, existing questionnaires.
