Traffic-related air pollution in marginalized neighborhoods: a community perspective
CONCLUSIONS: Guided by the perspectives of NYC community scientists, this contemporary review of toxicological and epidemiological studies considers how the exposome could lead to disproportionate exposures and health effects in underserved populations.PMID:38618680 | DOI:10.1080/08958378.2024.2331259 (Source: Inhalation Toxicology)

The presence of erionite in North American geologies and the estimated mesothelioma potency by region
CONCLUSION: The model predicted mesothelioma potency of Turkish erionite (4.53) falls in this same range of potencies as erionite found in North America. Although it can vary by region, a reasonable ratio of average mesothelioma potency based on this model is 3,000:500:100:1 comparing North American erionite, crocidolite, amosite, and chrysotile (from most potent to least potent).PMID:38583132 | DOI:10.1080/08958378.2024.2322496 (Source: Inhalation Toxicology)

Elongated particulate burden in an individual who died of mesothelioma and had an occupational history as a talc "mucker"
CONCLUSIONS: The correlation between the unique asbestos mineral/fibrous content of the talc to which he was exposed and findings of the same type of asbestos found in his lung is discussed. The type of asbestos found (tremolite) is a "non-commercial" type of asbestos that has been identified in some talc deposits. Tremolite, like all forms of asbestos is a causative agent for mesothelioma-the disease from which this individual suffered.PMID:38502172 | DOI:10.1080/08958378.2024.2329935 (Source: Inhalation Toxicology)
