Article Abstract
In residential environment, NO is an important air pollutant. Yet, the dynamics of indoor NO and source contributions to human exposure are not well understood. Here, we conducted a continuous NO measurement in and out of eight households in Guangzhou, China. Paired high time-resolution NO data sets indoors (kitchen, living room) and outdoors (balcony) were obtained with NO monitors. We summarized the indoor and outdoor NO levels, identified temporal variation patterns, analyzed indoor-outdoor relationships, and quantified source contributions to indoor NO exposure. Indoor NO were overall higher than outdoor NO, and in most cases, the highest NO levels were observed in the kitchen. NO in the kitchen was characterized by multiple spikes associated with use of gas stoves, while NO in the living room was also elevated but the peaks were generally smaller. The indoor-outdoor correlations were stronger in winter than in summer, and were stronger in nighttime than daytime. The sources contributing to indoor NO were separated with a conceptual model. Overall, the outdoor NO source contributed 73%-76% of the NO in the kitchen, and 76%-85% in the living room. The source pattern was quite different: outdoor NO sources were present indoors all the time; by contrast, indoor NO sources were present sporadically but with a very high contribution. This has important implication to the exposure assessment that indoor NO sources lead to short-term high exposure, and deserves attention regarding acute health effects.

Industrial emissions of cadmium, which is used in various industries, and formation of cadmium nanoparticles during high-temperature technological processes aggravate the problem of chemical pollution. Insufficient understanding of the toxic impact of cadmium nanoparticles, coupled with the serious multisystem toxicity of this metal, necessitate expansion of knowledge about their potential toxic effects. We assessed the response of female outbred albino rats to subchronic exposure to cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CdO NPs) administered intranasally at the concentration of 0.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction (SR) plays a crucial role in traditional organic chemistry, and its extension into two dimensional (2D) materials has recently created a series of functional materials and advanced applications. However, the traditional SR process is usually indiscriminately copied into existing 2D reaction systems, which tremendously restricts the development of special 2D functional materials and sophisticated applications. In this work, a brand-new spin-active polarons-induced SR process in typical 2D fluorographene (FG) is proposed, where nucleophiles preferentially attack particular oxygen groups for functional grafting, simultaneously inducing the generation of spin-active polarons and subsequently rapid defluorination on the FG nanosheet.

Objectives: Street sweeps, involving the state-enforced removal of makeshift residences and confiscation of personal belongings from people in public spaces, are a common tool employed by urban governments to address public health and safety concerns. Amidst the ongoing housing and toxic drug poisoning crises in Vancouver, Canada, we sought to characterize experiences of confiscation of personal belongings by city workers among unstably-housed people who use drugs people who use drugs.
Study Design: Cohort study.
