As the range of allergens continues to expand and the food industry evolves, there is a growing need for more efficient, affordable, and comprehensive methods to monitor protein exposures. This study aimed to assess the concentrations of inhalable aerosols and soluble proteins (SP) in food manufacturing environments. Additionally, the study sought to optimize the extraction methods for determining SP across diverse food matrices.

Objective: To use data-driven approaches to investigate maternal multi-occupational exposures during pregnancy and their effects on intrauterine growth.
Methods: Maternal occupational exposure to 47 factors during pregnancy was evaluated with job-exposure matrices in the French ELFE cohort. The outcomes of interest were birthweight (BW), small for gestational age (SGA) and head circumference (HC).

Objectives: This study aimed to quantify aerosol and microbial exposure levels during different working hours, analyze temporal air pollution trends in the endoscopy suite, and provide evidence to optimize infection prevention strategies.
Methods: A portable laser particle counter and an airborne bacteria sampler were used to measure aerosol particle concentrations and microbial loads at four time points: before the commencement of work (baseline), and 1, 2, and 3 h after work initiation. Continuous data collection was conducted over 10 consecutive working days.

To effectively combat antibiotic resistance, it is critical to understand antibiotic usage patterns and their environmental dissemination. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are well-documented sources of antibiotics discharged into aquatic environments, but their role in releasing antibiotics via bioaerosols has not previously been investigated. In this study, seasonal air and liquid samples were collected throughout 2019 from a midsize WWTP employing both mechanical surface agitation and fine bubble aeration of activated sludge.

Predicting indoor air quality during infectious disease conditions relies on models simulating particle materials (PM)/bioaerosols distribution. Understanding the thermo-fluid properties of exhaled air is crucial for comprehending disease transmission dynamics. This study employs a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to simulate cough-induced particle dispersion in a closed space.
