Indoor air pollution and human ocular diseases: Associated contaminants and underlying pathological mechanisms

Dan-Lei Yang et al.

Summary: People spend a lot of time indoors, especially young children, which increases the risk of indoor pollution on human health. This review summarizes the adverse effects of indoor pollution on the human ocular surface, including dry eye, conjunctivitis, glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and keratitis. The main pathological mechanisms for ocular surface diseases caused by indoor pollution are chronic inflammation, oxidative damage, and disruption of tight junctions.

Biomonitoring of firefighting forces: a review on biomarkers of exposure to health-relevant pollutants released from fires

Bela Barros et al.

Summary: Occupational exposure as a firefighter is now considered a human carcinogen by the IARC. Biomonitoring is increasingly used to assess exposure to contaminants, but there is a lack of information on relevant biomarkers. This review provides a comprehensive summary and critical evaluation of existing biomarkers of exposure in firefighters attending different fire scenarios.

Summary: Exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) can cause severe respiratory diseases and toxic effects on extrapulmonary organs, as shown by molecular imaging and radiolabeling techniques in animal models. DPM was primarily distributed in the lungs, but also translocated to other organs such as the heart, spleen, and liver.

Sources, characteristics, toxicity, and control of ultrafine particles: An overview

Andrea L. Moreno-Rios et al.

Summary: Air pollution caused by particulate matter is a major threat to human health, especially in large cities. The size, composition, and toxicity of these particles vary. Ultrafine particles have a greater impact on human health as they can enter the lungs and vital organs, leading to diseases. In addition, particulate matter pollution is associated with respiratory conditions, genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity.

Biomarkers for the adverse effects on respiratory system health associated with atmospheric particulate matter exposure

Caixia Guo et al.

Summary: Epidemiological evidence shows a positive correlation between atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure and respiratory diseases, with biomarkers potentially helping to understand the biological mechanisms underlying adverse health outcomes of PM2.5. Inconsistent findings across studies may stem from differences in airborne PM2.5 samples, exposure modes, and methodological issues, warranting further research to identify novel biomarkers and elucidate the causal relationship between PM2.5 pollution and deleterious lung outcomes.

Summary: Exposure to aerosols, specifically ultrafine particles (UFP), has significant health effects on human beings, especially in indoor environments where particle concentration is influenced by outdoor aerosols and indoor particle generation sources such as combustion, electric heating, and house cleaning. However, assessing and measuring UFP is challenging, and current standards do not provide accurate and reliable measurement methods.

Pollution and health: a progress update

Richard Fuller et al.

Summary: The Lancet Commission on pollution and health reported that pollution was responsible for 9 million premature deaths in 2015, making it the world's largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death. Updated data from 2019 shows that pollution is still responsible for approximately 9 million deaths per year, with reductions in some types of pollution offset by increases in others. Despite efforts, little progress has been made in addressing pollution, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries.

A simplified approach to evaluate the lung cancer risk related to airborne particles emitted by indoor sources

E. Caracci et al.

Summary: The study presents a simplified method for evaluating lung cancer risk associated with indoor particle emissions, showing that the risk in indoor environments is mainly related to sub-micron particles rather than super-micron ones, and different sources such as cooking activities can lead to extremely high lung cancer risks. Ventilation rates in residential environments are not effective in reducing the risk significantly, while extraction hoods and air purifiers can significantly decrease it.

Characterization of cooking-related ultrafine particles in a US residence and impacts of various intervention strategies

Jianbang Xiang et al.

Summary: Interventions such as opening kitchen windows, using a kitchen range hood, and kitchen PAC can effectively reduce UFP exposures during cooking. Opening windows and using a range hood can lower indoor average UFP concentrations by around 70% and 35% during and 1 h after cooking, while using a PAC in addition to a range hood further reduces UFP levels by 53%. Placing the PAC in the living room or bedroom shows less efficacy in reducing UFP concentrations during and after cooking.

Wildland firefighter exposure to smoke and COVID-19: A new risk on the fire line

Kathleen M. Navarro et al.

Summary: Wildland firefighters in the United States respond to wildfires and perform challenging work in remote areas. Exposure to wildfire smoke could increase the likelihood and severity of COVID-19 infection in these firefighters, due to various factors such as oxidative stress and inflammatory responses from particulate matter in the smoke. Additional measures may be necessary to prevent the co-occurrence of wildfire smoke exposure and SARS-CoV-2 infection.
