Tropospheric ozone threatens human health and crop yields, exacerbates global warming, fundamentally changes atmospheric chemistry. Evidence has pointed toward widespread increases in the troposphere, particularly surface is chemically complex difficult to abate. Despite past successes some regions, a solution new challenges of pollution warming climate remains unexplored. In this perspective, by compiling measurements at ∼4,300 sites worldwide between 2014 2019, we show emerging challenge...
Electronic cigarette usage is increasing worldwide, yet there a paucity of information on the respiratory health effects electronic aerosol exposure. This study aimed to assess whether exposure (e-cigarette) would alter lung function and pulmonary inflammation in mice compare severity any alterations with exposed mainstream tobacco smoke. Female BALB/c were for 8 wk smoke, medical air (control), or one four different types e-cigarette aerosol. E-cigarette aerosols varied depending nicotine...
The well-known phenomena of Plateau–Rayleigh instability has been simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). breakup a liquid film into an array droplets on cylindrical element was volume-of-fluid (VOF) solver and compared to experimental observations existing theory. It is demonstrated that the VOF method can correctly predict thins films either axisymmetric or clam-shell droplets, depending surface energy. existence unrealistically large precluded. Droplet spacing found show...
Recently, there has been a substantial increase in the availability and use of low-cost particulate matter sensors wide range air quality applications. They carry promise revolutionising monitoring, yet considerable reservations exist regarding their performance capabilities, thus hindering broader-scale utilization these devices. In order to address concerns assess feasibility accuracy for various applications, we evaluated six PM2.5 (the Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F, Shinyei PPD42NS, Plantower...
Severe episodic air pollution blankets entire cities and regions have a profound impact on humans their activities. We compiled daily fine particle (PM2.5) data from 100 in five continents, investigated the trends of number, frequency, duration episodes, compared these with baseline trend pollution. showed that factors contributing to events are complex; however, long-term measures abate emissions all anthropogenic sources at times is also most efficient way reduce occurrence severe events....
The development of food allergy has been reported to be related with the changes in gut microbiome, however specific microbe associated pathogenesis remains elusive. This study aimed comprehensively characterize microbiome and identify individual or group microbes relating food-allergy using 16S rRNA gene sequencing network analysis. Faecal samples were collected from children IgE-mediated allergies (n = 33) without 27). Gut was profiled by sequencing. OTUs obtained then used construct a...
To assess the chemical composition of electronic cigarette liquids (e-liquids) sold in Australia, both their fresh and aged forms.Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis commercial e-liquids Australia (online physical stores).Chemical 65 Australian - excipients/solvents, flavouring chemicals, other known e-liquid constituents (including nicotine), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons before after an accelerated ageing process that simulated effects vaping.The measured levels propylene...
Few studies examined the association between prenatal long-term ambient temperature exposure and stillbirth fewer still from developing countries. Rather than temperature, we used a human thermophysiological index, Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to investigate role of heat stress on in Ghana.District-level monthly UTCI was linked with 90,532 stillbirths 5,961,328 births across all 260 local districts 1st January 2012 31st December 2020. A within-space time-series design applied...
The current work examines the filtration of both charged and uncharged NaCl nanoparticles in size range 2.5–20 nm on grounded metal filters meshes, plastic mesh. methodology thus allows electrostatic other effects to be differentiated from true thermal rebound (Wang Kasper 1991). also compares measurements under identical conditions made with a number different condensation particle counters, experimental methodologies, order allow exclusion certain measurement errors results. It was found...
The evolution of pressure drop, drainage rate, saturation, and efficiency combined philic, phobic oil mist filters in real‐time are examined. experiments used four different filter configurations, with a combination oleophobic oleophilic fibrous media, one only reference. effect separating materials differing wettability, mesh, was also explored. It found that inclusion mesh between layers promoted increased rates resulted significantly lower drop across the filter. overall mass‐based...
