The respiratory impacts of air pollution in children: Global and domestic (Taiwan) situation

Preparation of Needleless Electrospinning Polyvinyl Alcohol/Water-Soluble Chitosan Nanofibrous Membranes: Antibacterial Property and Filter Efficiency

“…However, industrial development has caused pollutions that jeopardize the environment and human health constantly, especially particulate pollutants that have become a global crisis. A great number of studies have proved that a long-term exposure to a polluted environment inflicts the human body with respiratory system disorder, apoplexy, heart disease, and cancer [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Therefore, people start seeking suitable and effective filters in order to protect public health.…”

Biological Monitoring Heavy Metals in Fingernails and Scalp Hair of Autoworkers in Saudi Arabia

“…Environmental pollution has an important role in increasing the levels of toxic and heavy metals in the human body, which lead to various chronic diseases (Rajfur et al, 2018;Silva et al, 2018;Ocelić Bulatović et al, 2019;Cabar et al, 2020;Noreen et al, 2020;Almeida-da-Silva et al, 2021;Ikese, et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;Lotah, 2022). The working environment has come to play an important role in this subject, due to the direct relationship between man and the degree of hazards chemical agents present in their workplace environment.…”

“…Various analytical techniques have been considered for the measurement of heavy and toxic metals in different biological samples (Geier et al, 2016;Mehra & Thakur, 2016;Ocelić Bulatović et al, 2019;Noreen et al, 2020;Almeida-da-Silva et al, 2021). Fingernails and scalp hair can be considered metabolic end products, as well as they, are long-term with many trace elements into their structure during the growth process, the trace element contents of which reflect mineral metabolism in the body (Rajfur et al, 2018;Silva et al, 2018;Cabar et al, 2020;Ikese, et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;Lotah, 2022). Therefore, the measurement of toxic and heavy metals content in nails and hair plays an important role to understand as well as monitoring the impact of chemical environmental pollution on various inhabitants of a community.…”

Simultaneous Detection of Toxic and Heavy Metals in the Scalp Hair Samples of Smokers

“…They also found a relationship between these elements and human health. Recently, many studies have been reported to estimate the relation between the presence of toxic and heavy metals in human tissues samples, and the smoking habits, to explain whether smoking is the origin of these hazardous metals using different analytical tools such as atomic absorption spectrometry (Alrobaian & Arida, 2019;Wu et al, 2021).…”
