Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper: a case study to evaluate the influence of visitors on the Museum preservation systems

Oriana Motta et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of visitors on museum environments by measuring the stable carbon isotopic ratio of CO2 and the concentration of NH3, successfully confirming their influence on indoor atmospheric delta C-13 values and NH3 concentration. This provides a new monitoring method for museums in indoor air quality protection, serving as a tool for managing and regulating visitor numbers.

Short-term effect of sulfur dioxide (SO2) change on the risk of tuberculosis outpatient visits in 16 cities of Anhui Province, China: the first multi-city study to explore differences in occupational patients

Xin-Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: A growing number of studies suggest that a certain concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO2) may promote human resistance to tuberculosis. However, the results are inconsistent and few have explored the relationship between SO2 exposure and tuberculosis risk at the provincial level. This study aimed to investigate the association between short-term SO2 exposure and outpatient visits for tuberculosis in Anhui province and 16 cities from 2015 to 2020. The results showed that SO2 exposure was associated with a reduced risk of outpatient visits for tuberculosis, particularly among farmers and workers.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in the Environment: Occupational and Exposure Events, Effects on Human Health and Fertility

Luigi Montano et al.

Summary: In the last decade, there has been renewed attention in the scientific community on the presence and potential risks of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) due to their continued presence in the environment and workplaces. PCBs primarily enter the human body through ingestion of contaminated foods, followed by inhalation and dermal contact. These pollutants are found in building materials and electrical equipment, with the highest contamination levels in e-waste recycling sites. Studies have reported environmental and occupational exposure to PCBs, with workers showing increased blood PCB concentrations. Epidemiological studies suggest that high concentrations of PCBs are associated with various health outcomes including neuropsychological deficits, dementia, immune system dysfunctions, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. PCBs bioaccumulation also affects fertility and reproductive systems. Further research is needed to understand the effects of low-level PCBs exposure in workplaces and specific indoor environments.

Microplastics in the Environment: Intake through the Food Web, Human Exposure and Toxicological Effects

Concetta Pironti et al.

Summary: Studies on microplastics have rapidly increased due to the growing awareness of potential health risks. Microplastics can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. Research suggests significant human exposure to microplastics through various routes, prompting the need for further assessment of potential health risks.

Long-term ambient SO2 concentration and its exposure risk across China inferred from OMI observations from 2005 to 2018

Xiuying Zhang et al.

Summary: This study estimated the long-term trends of ambient SO2 concentrations in China from 2005 to 2018 using OMI SO2 columns and MOZART-4 simulated atmospheric SO2 profile, showing a decreasing trend overall. Although the SO2 exposure risk significantly decreased on a national scale in 2018 compared to 2005, there are still regions where a high percentage of the population faces high SO2 exposure risk.

The Scientific Basis for Occupational Exposure Limits for Hydrogen Sulphide-A Critical Commentary

Mark Elwood

Summary: There is limited consensus on the occupational exposure limits for hydrogen sulphide among expert groups, with varying recommendations. Different weight is given to human studies and animal studies, with inconsistent results found in human studies conducted over 20 years ago. Current evidence does not clearly demonstrate detrimental health effects from chronic occupational exposures to H2S.

Environmental and biological monitoring of formaldehyde inside a hospital setting: A combined approach to manage chemical risk in workplaces

Oriana Motta et al.

Summary: The safety of healthcare workers exposed to formaldehyde is a major concern for healthcare management units. A study conducted in a hospital setting in Southern Italy found that both environmental and biological monitoring are important in managing occupational exposure to formaldehyde. While the average levels of formaldehyde in the air and workers' urine were low, there was a slight weekly accumulation observed in the statistical analysis.
