The application of ultrasonic technology in the treatment organic pollutants water has attracted more and attention recent years. Compared with conventional treatment, is efficient time saving. Ultrasonic effective for degradation many refractory pollutants. In this paper, principle, influencing factors various methods are studied view alone, ultrasound combined biocatalysts, chemical oxidation adsorption techniques, respectively. addition, problems existing by analyzed development direction...
Graphene is a two-dimensional material with unique structure and excellent properties. After first being successfully prepared in 2004, it rapidly became research hotspot the fields of materials, chemistry, physics, engineering. Currently, there are many methods for preparing graphene, such as ball milling method, chemical oxidation-reduction, vapor deposition, liquid-phase exfoliation. Among these methods, exfoliation most important preparation method. In this paper, ultrasound-assisted...
Radon, a common radioactive indoor air pollutant, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in United States. Knowledge about its distribution essential for risk assessment and designing efficient protective regulations. However, three current radon maps States are unable to provide up-to-date, high-resolution, time-varying concentrations. Tens millions measurements have been conducted as parts property inspections past two decades, making it possible us improve national map. We compiled...
Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento de gestantes sobre Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG) e a efetividade da educação em saúde no pré-natal. Métodos: Estudo transversal analítico quantitativo, realizado Unidades Básicas Saúde com gestantes. Aplicou-se questionário variáveis sociodemográficas, perfil gestacional, saúde, do DMG (adaptação Knowledge Questionnaire). Os dados foram analisados STATA 14.0, utilizando-se teste Chi-quadrado para avaliar diferenças entre níveis conhecimento. Resultados:...
Numerous studies have reported a positive association between ambient fine particles and daily mortality, but little is known about the particle properties or environmental factors that may contribute to these effects. This study assessed potential modification of radon on PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm)-associated mortality in 108 U.S. cities using two-stage statistical approach. First, city- season-specific risks were estimated over-dispersed Poisson...
Short-term geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) driven by the quasi-periodic 11-year cycle of solar activity have been linked to a broad range adverse health effects, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and total deaths. We conducted large epidemiological study in 263 U.S. cities assess effects GMD on daily deaths total, CVD, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke.We employed two-step meta-analysis approach, which we estimated city-specific season-stratified mortality risk associated with...
In this study, we describe the impact of Environmental Education (EE) projects for environmental regeneration conducted by Group Research and Studies in Sustainability (GEPEASA) Brazil. EE programs have been National Parks public schools urban cities with objective to include school curriculum, farms, classes sustainability, food security health, recover local green areas. areas where applied, there are increases areas, ecological consciousness social engagement, well-being students...
To evaluate whether a multidisciplinary educational program (EP) in cardiovascular prevention (CVP) for children could improve the Framingham risk (FCR) of their parents after one year.This was prospective community-based study Brazil during 2010 that randomized students aged 6 to 10 years old two different approaches receiving healthy lifestyle information. The control group received written material (EM) about lifestyle. intervention same EM parents, and were exposed weekly EP CVP with...
Inhaling radon and its progeny is associated with adverse health outcomes. However, previous studies of the effects residential exposure to in United States were commonly based on a county-level temporally invariant model that was developed using measurements collected mid- late 1980s. We machine learning predict monthly concentrations for each ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) Greater Boston area 363,783 short-term by Spruce Environmental Technologies, Inc., during period 2005–2018. A...
Abstract Background Radon may have a role in obstructive lung disease outside its known carcinogenicity. Little is about radon's effects on asthma morbidity. Objective To determine the effect of radon fractional exhaled nitric oxide (F E NO), symptom‐days, and function inner‐city asthmatic school children. Methods Two hundred ninety‐nine school‐aged children enrolled School Inner‐City Asthma Study (SICAS‐1) were followed. One two‐month averaged was assessed using spatiotemporal model...
Radon decay products attach to particulate matter (referred as particle radioactivity, PR) has been shown be potential promote airway damage after inhalation. In this study, we investigated associations between PR with respiratory symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients COPD. 141 male COPD, former smokers, completed the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) up four 1-week seasonal assessments (N=474) indoor (home) ambient (central site) ≤ 2.5 µm diameter (PM
Decay products of radioactive materials may attach to ambient fine particles and form aerosol. Internal ionizing radiation source from inhaled aerosol contribute the particulate matter (PM2.5)-inflammation pathway. However, few studies in humans have examined associations. To examine associations between particle radioactivity biomarkers oxidative stress inflammation among participants Framingham Offspring Third Generation cohorts. We included 3996 who were not current smokers lived within...
Temporally resolved assessment of residential exposure to radon is essential for investigating radon's acute health effects. Recent studies have used large numbers short-term measurements model the spatiotemporal variations in concentrations. However, most northeastern and midwestern United States were conducted basements, which less frequently occupied had higher average concentrations than upstairs spaces. Disproportionate usage basement potentially introduces misclassifications. In an...
In 1987, the United States Environmental Protection Agency recommended installing a mitigation system when indoor concentration of radon, well-known carcinogenic radioactive gas, is at or above 148 Bq/m3. response, tens millions short-term radon measurements have been conducted in residential buildings over past three decades either for disclosure to initially evaluate need mitigation. These measurements, however, are currently underutilized assess population exposure epidemiological...
Background: This pilot study evaluates the association of severe periodontitis with pulse wave velocity (PWV), carotid artery intima‐medial thickness (IMT), and clinical, metabolic, atherogenic inflammatory markers in 79 subjects heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hFH). All were free previous vascular disease manifestations. Methods: The body mass index (in kilograms per square meter), plasma lipids, glucose, C‐reactive protein, white blood cell counts evaluated. After full‐mouth...
Exposure to ionizing radiation has been associated with hypertension, but the relationship between residential radon exposure and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) not examined.We used Massachusetts Birth Registry Vital Records from 2001 2015 including women a singleton without prior hypertension. The binary outcome included gestational hypertension pre-eclampsia cases was assessed using birth certificate data. We obtained 141,665 basement measurements Spruce Environmental...
