An Outbreak of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 Associated with a Farming Camp-Tennessee, 2022

Lindsey Ferraro et al.

Summary: On June 22, 2022, the Tennessee Department of Health was informed that a child who attended a farming camp at farm A was hospitalized with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157:H7. Three days later, another child who attended the same camp was hospitalized with hemolytic uremic syndrome. This prompted an investigation.

Human health risk assessment for toxic elements in the extreme ambient dust conditions observed in Sistan, Iran

Reza Dahmardeh Behrooz et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the bioaccessibility and health risks related to heavy metals and metalloid in airborne dust samples in Zabol, Iran. The results showed high carcinogenic risks associated with inhalation exposure for both children and adults, as well as elevated risks for ingestion and dermal contact pathways, particularly for children. The study highlights the significant health risks posed by toxic elements in airborne particles in Sistan and suggests the need for measures to reduce exposure and protect public health.

PM2.5 characterization of primary and secondary organic aerosols in two urban-industrial areas in the East Mediterranean

Marc Fadel et al.

Summary: Organic aerosols in PM2.5 were analyzed in Zouk Mikael and Fiaa, Lebanon over a one-year period, showing higher concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) at Zouk Mikael than Fiaa, attributed to the presence of a power plant. Phthalates were identified for the first time in Lebanon with high concentrations at both sites. The study suggested strong anthropogenic influences on the aerosols in both locations, with different patterns observed between winter and summer seasons.
