Pollution characteristics, mechanism of toxicity and health effects of the ultrafine particles in the indoor environment: Current status and future perspectives

Muhammad Ubaid Ali et al.

Summary: Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are becoming the most dominant and abundant particulate matter, with increased human exposure. Due to their small size, UFPs have significant health impacts, but knowledge about them is still lacking. Inhalation is the main exposure route, and inhaled UFPs can cause various adverse health effects.

Chemical characteristics and sources of ambient PM2.5 in a harbor area: Quantification of health risks to workers from source-specific selected toxic elements

Baoshuang Liu et al.

Summary: Samples of ambient PM2.5 were collected in the Qingdao harbor area from March 21 to May 25, 2016, and analyzed to investigate compositions, sources, and health risks of toxic elements. The study found that all selected toxic elements had risks below the USEPA limits, with industrial emissions and crustal dust and coal combustion identified as the main sources of pollution.

Evidence for the presence of air pollution nanoparticles in placental tissue cells

Norrice M. Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that inhaled metal-bearing air pollution-derived PM can translocate to distant organs and be taken up by tissue resident phagocytes in vivo, including potentially affecting the fetus in the uterus. This suggests that the human placenta may be a primary target for these particles.

The occurrence of PFAS in human placenta and their binding abilities to human serum albumin and organic anion transporter 4

Yao Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence of both legacy and emerging PFAS in human placenta, revealing different concentrations and detection frequencies of various PFAS. Molecular docking calculations showed that the binding affinities of PFAS with proteins are correlated with chain length, indicating a close relationship between placental transfer of PFAS and chain length.

Vertical variations in the concentration and community structure of airborne microbes in PM2.5

Wenyan Bai et al.

Summary: This study investigated the vertical variations in the concentration and community structure of airborne bacteria at different heights in Xi'an, China. The results showed a decrease in microbial concentration with increasing height on polluted days, while no significant difference was observed at different heights on non-polluted days. Additionally, meteorological factors had a more significant impact on the bacterial community at higher altitudes compared to lower altitudes.

Identification, Quantification, and Imaging of the Biodistribution of Soot Particles by Mass Spectral Fingerprinting

Yue Lin et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new method for label-free identification, quantification, and imaging of soot particles in complex media, based on laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry fingerprinting. The method showed consistent mass spectral fingerprints for soot particles from different sources and morphologies, enabling accurate quantification and imaging of soot particles.

Variation in the concentration and regional distribution of magnetic nanoparticles in human brains, with and without Alzheimer's disease, from the UK

Jessica Hammond et al.

Summary: The presence of magnetic nanoparticles in the human brain can be attributed to both endogenous and exogenous sources. Elderly brains contain non-physiological metals, likely due to the incursion of environmentally-sourced particles across the blood-brain barrier. Further investigation into the impact of exogenous magnetite/maghemite exposure on younger cohorts before the loss of blood-brain barrier integrity is essential.
