Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in landfill gas: Composition characteristics and health risks
Environ Int. 2023 Mar 22;174:107886. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.107886. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGas emitted from landfills contains a large quantity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), some of which are carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic, thereby posing a serious threat to the health of landfill workers and nearby residents. However, the global hazards of VOCs and SVOCs in landfill gas to human health remain unclear. To quantify the global risk distributions of these pollutants, we collected the composition and concentration data of VOCs and SVOCs from 72 landfills ...

Health risk assessment of particulate matter 2.5 in an academic metallurgy workshop
This study highlights the importance of exposure and health studies in academic micro-environments such as metallurgy workshops which are often less researched, and exposure is underestimated. The results also indicated the need to implement control measures to protect the health of the occupants and ensure that the workshop rules are adhered to.PMID:36168227 | DOI:10.1111/ina.13111
