Article Synopsis
- - Over the past 20 years, increased warehouse construction near seaports and low-cost land has led to higher transportation and e-commerce activities, negatively impacting air quality and health in nearby disadvantaged communities.
- - A study from 2000 to 2019 in Southern California found that larger warehouses (measured by rentable building area, loading docks, and parking spaces) were linked to increased pollution levels of particulate matter (PM) and elemental carbon (EC).
- - Data revealed that an increase in warehouse size and facilities led to significant rises in PM and EC concentrations, with disadvantaged populations facing higher pollution exposure and related health risks.

In the past few decades, air and water pollution by organic dyes has become a serious concern due to their high toxicity. Removal of these organic dyes from polluted water bodies is a serious environmental concern and the development of new advanced photocatalytic materials for decomposing organic dyes can be a good solution. In this work, layered molybdenum disulfide/nickel disulfide (MoS/NiS) nanocomposites with various NiS content was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using citric acid as a reducing agent.

Development of VTE is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization, delays in cancer treatment, and an increased risk of complications including intracranial hemorrhage as well as VTE specific symptoms. Despite the high risk of VTE and associated morbidity, there is no standard recommendations regarding long term outpatient VTE prophylaxis in patients with MG due to the lack of clinical trial evidence in this patient population.
