Background/objectives: Respiratory viruses circulate year-round and can spread indoors via inhalation of airborne particles. Effective ventilation and filtration may reduce transmission, particularly in school settings where children and staff spend significant time. This study examines the impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation in schools on respiratory virus detection.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made pollutants widely used in industrial and consumer products, known to pose significant health risks. While their occurrence in water, soil, and food has been extensively studied, limited research has focused on ambient air, particularly in the U.S.

Pesticides are widely used to meet the food demands of a growing population, with various types used to control pests depending on the crops grown. Rainfall, overspray, and runoff from agricultural fields can wash these insecticides into water bodies, posing documented environmental risks. Imidacloprid is commonly used in Afrotropical regions such as South Africa, yet limited information is available on its toxicity to aquatic ecosystems within this climate region.

Exposure to air pollution plays a significant role in human health. Current methods of measuring human exposure are often limited to outdoor measurements, are time intensive, or are unable to accurately measure certain classes of compounds. This study proposes human hair as a promising indicator of pollution exposure.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the association between anthropometric parameter and myopia in children and adolescents.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, Embase, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data, and VIP databases were searched from inception to June, 2025. We collected cross-sectional studies on the association between anthropometric parameter and myopia in children and adolescents aged 0-25 years, including body mass index (BMI) and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI).
