Recent developments in risk and crisis communication (RCC) research combine social science theory and data science tools to construct effective risk messages efficiently. However, current systematic literature reviews (SLRs) on RCC primarily focus on computationally assessing message efficacy as opposed to message efficiency. We conduct an SLR to highlight any current computational methods that improve message construction efficacy and efficiency.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates respiratory exposures of US home care aides to harmful chemicals while using different cleaning and disinfecting products during bathroom cleaning, focusing on VOCs and QACs present in these products.
  • - A total of 22 aides tested three cleaning products: bleach-based, QACs-based, and a "green" product, with air sampling conducted to measure VOCs and QACs in a controlled environment.
  • - Results showed the presence of 38 unique VOCs, with many not listed on product labels, highlighting potential health risks due to limited toxicity information and occupational exposure limits for the identified chemicals.
