“…The higher overall and average potential dose for women was due to their higher respiratory rate and lower body weight compared to men. [51][52][53] Okello et al 54 conducted an experiment with 215 selected volunteers in a residential area in Ethiopia, measuring the exposure to PM 2.5 on the human body in 1 day. They found that adult Ethiopian women had the highest exposure to PM 2.5 (205 μg/m 3 ), which was higher than the exposure of adult men to PM 2.5 (40.5 μg/m 3 ).…”

Recent studies have shown that kitchen pollution is a major concern during cooking. Cooking can release harmful pollutants such as various sizes of particulate matters (PMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can harm the human body directly or indirectly. This study examined the harm of pollutants from cooking in different Chinese areas, including concentrations of PMs and size distribution as well as PAHs in rural and urban locations. PMs were collected during cooking, and PAHs in the particular matter were analysed. Additionally, the study conducted pollution risk assessment and economic analysis. The results showed that PMs and PAHs released during cooking in rural kitchens were higher than in urban kitchens. Specifically, PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations were 5.05, 3.39 and 3.78 times higher than in rural kitchens. PAH concentration in rural kitchens was 4.79, 5.82 and 6.30 times higher than in urban kitchens, respectively. Skin contact poses the highest carcinogenic risk amongst the pathways. Females had higher exposure to carcinogens than males. Furthermore, smaller PMs have a higher adsorption capacity for PAHs and are more carcinogenic than larger particles. This study examined the harmful effects of different cooking fuels. It aimed to improve cooking environments and increase the use of clean energy.

In the context of the industrial evolution towards Industry 5.0 concept, there is an increase in the industrial processes automation and digitization which can bring several benefits but also challenges for human health protection. Thus, it is important that governments and industrial companies take a series of measures to detect health problems that may be related to harmful substances exposure during industrial processes. The paper deals with a subject of industrial ecosociology represented by the interactions of three systems: natural-ecological (particulate matters pollution of the atmosphere), technological (polluting particulate matters in processing of metallic materials), social (health status under negative impact of polluting particulate matters). The negative influence of particulate matters on human health is investigated with regard to the particle characteristics, namely size, dp [m], concentration, cp [g/m3], granulometric fractions, fg [%], elemental chemical composition and granulometric structure. The following aspects are approached: the importance of industrial ecosociology concerns for sustainable development of human existence; the need of engineers to know the industrial ecosociology targets; the ranking of metallurgy sectors (sintering plant, blast furnace, LD converter, electrical arc furnace – EAF, rolling mills) according to the impact of pollutants particulates that may affect human health induced diseases is assessed.

“…Therefore, for the protection of the environment and to ensure sufficiently clean air levels, heavy metals must be kept at safe levels [20]. In the last decades, a number of studies have been carried out in order to assess the levels of heavy metals in PM10 and their potential risks [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

This study is focused on the determination of the heavy metals content in airborne particulate matter (PM) with a diameter lower than 10 µm (PM10) deposited on quartz microfiber filters and collected in four representative selected sites of the Calabria region, southern Italy. In particular, data on the content of Cd, Ni, and Pb in PM10 (i.e., those metals whose limit values, in terms of concentration, are reported in the Italian Legislation) were obtained through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurements after acid extraction with microwaves and filtration. Results showed that the average concentration of investigated metals decreases as Ni > Pb > Cd for all analyzed samples, and concentration values are lower than the limit values reported in the Italian legislation in all cases. Moreover, in order to assess the health risk related to their presence in the environment, the potential non-carcinogenic hazard for the investigated heavy metals was evaluated by calculating the hazard index (HI) for children and adults. Results indicated that the calculated HI values were lower than the safety limit in all cases, thus indicating a negligible non-carcinogenic health risk. In addition, the potential carcinogenic hazard for the investigated metals was estimated through the total cancer risk index (Risktotal). Obtained results were also lower than the limit value for children and adults in this case, and, therefore, the carcinogenic health risk caused by heavy metals in the analyzed PM10 samples could be considered to be unremarkable.
