Background: The impact of biomass fuel exposure on mental health, along with the associated gender disparities, remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to examine association between use and depressive symptoms in population Oaxaca, Mexico, while also identifying differences this relationship. Methods: used data from 2022 National Health Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT). Depressive symptoms, outcome variable, were assessed using Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD). primary predictor variable was use, gender, age, residency stratum included as covariates. First, a binary logistic regression model developed estimate dichotomous “depression symptoms”. Subsequently, second constructed evaluate potential interactions covariates variable. Findings: sample 1.4 million adults prevalence 15%. Biomass by 15.4% population. first showed that women (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.249; 95% CI: 1.235–1.263; p < 0.001), individuals aged 60 years older compared younger group (OR: 12.192; 12.064–12.321; those residing rural areas 1.245; 1.232–1.259; firewood or charcoal cooking 1.674; 1.651–1.697; 0.001) had higher odds symptoms. In model, all associations OR coefficients retained their direction, although underwent slight adjustment following introduction interaction term, indicating presence an interaction. Conclusions: findings suggest gendered adult dwelling being most vulnerable. Interventions at reducing air pollution strengthening health support are strongly recommended.

Sources of the Deposition of Submicron Soot Particles on Plant Leaves

Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(6), С. 583 - 583

Submicron soot particles (with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 1.0 μm) are found to be one the major factors resulting in global warming and health burdens. However, research on biomonitoring submicron their associated sources using tree leaves has not been comprehensively conducted. This study investigated seasonal trends seven types collected from four individual seasons across two years Nanjing, Yangtze River Delta region China, performed source apportionment stable carbon isotope analysis. Significant variations were observed types, with average levels 0.3 0.5 mg m−2 during summer 1.3 winter. The varied significantly various types. In contrast, δ13C change different ranged −26.3‰ −20.9‰ winter −24.0‰ −18.1‰ summer, fossil fuels accounting for 56% 78% average, respectively. These results demonstrate that can serve as a low-cost effective tool assessing status soot.
