Article Abstract
Mounting epidemiology studies have reported the potential associations between ambient air pollution exposure and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the genetic association between ambient air pollution and CRC remains unclear. Using the Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from UK biobank, we explored the genetic association of CRC (5,657 cases and 372,016 controls) with four ambient air pollutants (PM, PM, NO, NO; = 423,796 to 456,380) under the framework of Mendelian randomization (MR). Our results revealed a significant association between long-term NO exposure (per 10 µg/m) and increased CRC risk, with an odds ratio () of 1.02 (95% confidence interval []: 1.00-1.03), while no statistical association was found between CRC risk and the other air pollutants. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the results. It is imperative to consider the impact of air pollution, particularly NO, in mitigating the risk of CRC.

Numerical investigations on the oil intercepting performance of area-source pneumatic booms via a coupled DPM and VOF method.

Pneumatic booms offer distinct advantages over traditional structural barriers: not affecting the local vessel navigation and hydrological environment, enhanced mobility and maneuverability, etc. However, their oil interception performance remains insufficiently understood especially for the area-source ones. This study employs a well-validated numerical model based on the coupled VOF and DPM framework, to systematically investigate the plume evolution and oil containment efficiency of near-surface area-source bubble curtains under various aquatic scenarios.

Listeria monocytogenes poses a serious food safety risk due to its ability to survive and grow on produce during cold storage. This study evaluates Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 as a non-pathogenic surrogate for L. monocytogenes during up to 24 weeks of simulated lab storage and 36 weeks of commercial storage, including refrigerated air (RA), controlled atmosphere (CA), CA with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), with or without gaseous ozone treatment.

Climate change has heightened awareness of the health impacts of non-optimal temperatures (cold and heat), including the effect of gestational exposure and birth outcomes. However, temperature exposure assessment remains methodologically challenging due to unaccounted individual spatiotemporal mobility and adaptive behaviors, a gap that has not been adequately addressed in published studies. Using data from a prospective birth cohort in Guangzhou, China, conducted from 2017 to 2020, we assessed and compared three different exposure measures: home-based exposure, derived solely from ambient temperature data at residential locations; mobility-based exposure, incorporating individuals' spatiotemporal activities to capture dynamic environmental conditions; and AC & mobility-based exposure, an extension of the mobility-based approach that further integrates data on air-conditioning usage.

While studies have examined associations between air pollution and subjective long COVID outcomes such as fatigue and symptoms, no studies have focused on objective lung health measures. This study aimed to assess the impact of air pollution, examined through different exposure methods (exposures assigned via geospatial model, versus residential and personal measurements) on pulmonary function and radiological abnormalities in long COVID patients. We recruited 95 patients who attended a hospital outpatient clinic 3-6 months post-infection, during which pulmonary function was assessed via spirometry (FEV1,FVC,FEV1/FVC ratio) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), along with a chest CT.
