The presence of nanoparticles in the environment is mainly attributed to outdoor sources but sub-10 nm particles may also form indoor as effect domestic activities such cooking, heating, air freshening. Today, due COVID-19 pandemic, people are staying home for longer periods times, thus being exposed a poor quality. Due elevated numerical concentration and large surface area, health can go beyond what expected from their low mass atmosphere. objective this study find, based on analysis...
Almost all people in developed countries are exposed to metal nanoparticles (MeNPs) that used a large number of applications including medical (for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes). Once inside the body, absorbed by inhalation, contact, ingestion injection, MeNPs can translocate tissues and, as any foreign substance, likely encounter innate immunity system represent non-specific first line defense against potential threats host. In this review, we will discuss possible effects on various...
Although mass emissions of combustion-generated particulate matter have been substantially reduced by new combustion technology, there is still a great concern about the huge numbers sub-10 nm particles with insignificant mass. These up to orders magnitude higher surface area ratios compared larger particles, surfaces covered adsorbed volatile and semi-volatile organic species or even are constituted such species. Currently only very little information available on exposure related health...
To study aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), and lead (Pb) influence on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) development.A total of 34 patients (10% the regional ALS population) 25 controls an Italian region were enrolled. Metal concentrations determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy.Serum Al in similar lower than those provided Society Reference Values. No differences observed serum Mn concentrations, while, as expected, blood Pb levels significantly higher with controls.Results confirmed...
In recent years, scientific literature has been giving more and importance to the study of occupational/environmental exposure risk agents related onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscular paralysis reflecting degeneration motor neurons in primary cortex. Aim this work is verify state art about eventual role occupationall environmental agents. Selected articles, on basis keywords, year publication topics, are occupational...
The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect flame-generated nucleation mode particles with an organic carbon structure on growth and apoptosis in immortalized human keratinocytes. In study, cells were stimulated nanoparticles collected from flames that produce only operating a fuel:air mixture typical low-emission combustion systems. Cytotoxicity as function particle concentration monitored by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, observed FACS using DNA fragmentation...
Microgravity impairs tissue organization and critical pathways involved in the cell–microenvironment interplay, where fibroblasts have a role. We exposed dermal to simulated microgravity by means of Random Positioning Machine (RPM), device that reproduces conditions weightlessness. Molecular structural changes were analyzed compared control samples growing normal gravity field. Simulated fibroblast conversion into myofibroblast inhibits their migratory properties. Consequently, interplay...
To estimate the three-year cumulative risk of work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs) in a cohort automotive industry workers and to provide first test ability European Assembly Worksheet (EAWS) methodology predict WRULDs.292 were investigated by reviewing workers' medical records during period from 2012-2015 determine their exposure biomechanical overload according EAWS scores (0-25, low risk, Green zone; 26-50, medium Yellow >50, High risk; Red zone).The risks 0.83%, 5.71%, 11.88% for...
The authors conducted a work-related stress surveillance study in 2013 on 6,558 public-sector employees Italy, examining how they perceived their jobs, via the Job Content Questionnaire, and mental health status, General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ-12). Of 2,094 completing questionnaires, 60% were male, 52% had medium-level education, 76% job. Three hundred eighty-five (18%) GHQ-12 score >3 classified as cases: these more often female (54%), medium-to-highly educated reported problems over...
