The emergence of a novel human corona virus disease (COVID-19) has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. One of the mechanisms of airborne transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome - corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) amid humans is through direct ejection of droplets via sneezing, coughing and vocalizing. Nevertheless, t...

The illegal disposal of waste from textile industries having recalcitrant pollutants is a worldwide problem with more severity in developing nations. We used an ecofriendly method to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from a locally-isolated bacterial strain Bacillus marisflavi TEZ7 and employed them as photocatalysts to degrade not only synth...

Hypertension-related disease burden is a major challenge globally, with an estimated 1.56 billion adults expected to be affected by hypertension by 2025. Environmental factors, such as metals, could be risk factors for hypertension, but the relationship between airborne metals and hypertension is rarely studied. Census-tract airborne metal concentr...

Application of biological methods on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) treatment is always limited by its low degradation efficiency. In this work, a catalytic oxidation pathway of phenanthrene resulted by extracellular secretions of P. aeruginosa NY3 was proposed. Results of the in vitro experiments showed that, the extracellular secretions ...

Prolonged sleep latency is associated with far-reaching public health consequences. Although evidence about the effect of air pollution on sleep problem has been shown, the effect on sleep latency remained unknown. The study aimed to analyze the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and prolonged sleep latency in rural China. In a...

This study employs dynamic panel data for 34 Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) countries for the period 1984-2016 to estimate the effects of renewable energy on environmental quality measured by three indicators, namely, per capita CO2 emissions, energy intensity (EI) and Aggregate National Savings (ANS). The study leveraged a battery of second-generation e...

Obtaining two-dimensional distributions of reactive phosphorus in sediment porewater is very important for understanding fine-scale phosphorus mobilization and sequestration processes in sediments. In this study, the diffusive equilibrium in thin films (DET) measurement based on computer imaging densitometry (CID) was studied in detail with optimal...

Associations between ambient air pollution and stillbirth have recently been explored, but most studies have focused on long-term (trimester or gestational averages) rather than short-term (within one week) air pollution exposures. To evaluate whether short-term exposures to criteria air pollutants are associated with increased risk of stillbirth. ...

Given the large number of mobile phone users and the increasing exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) worldwide, we aimed to study the effect of RF-EMF related to mobile phones on heart rate variability (HRV). Twenty-six healthy young adults participated in two experimental sessions with a double-blind, randomized and counter-ba...
