Background: Exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular, respiratory, and other diseases and health outcomes. Although NO emissions have decreased in Germany, concentrations currently observed still pose a threat to population health. The aim of this study is to estimate the environmental burden of disease (EBD) resulting from long-term NO exposure in Germany from 2010 to 2021.

The need for odor measurement and pollution source identification in various sectors (aeronautic, automobile, healthcare…) has increased in the last decade. Multisensor modules, such as electronic noses, seem to be a promising and inexpensive alternative to traditional sensors that were only sensitive to one gas at a time. However, the selectivity, the non-repetitiveness of their manufacture, and their drift remain major obstacles to the use of electronic noses.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO) and particulate matter of 2.5 microns (PM) are air pollutants that impact health, especially among vulnerable populations with respiratory disease. This study identifies factors influencing indoor NO and PM in low-income households of older adults with asthma who use gas stoves in Lowell, Massachusetts.

This study investigates the correlation between short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO) and hospitalization for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Lanzhou, China. A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was employed to examine the relationship between changes in NO concentration and CKD hospitalizations. Subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the sensitivity of different populations to NO exposure.

This paper presents the numerical analysis of the influence of air flow rate on the porous structure development of activated carbons prepared from macadamia nut shells. The analyses based on nitrogen and carbon dioxide isotherms were carried out by the new numerical clustering-based adsorption analysis method. Therefore, it was possible to evaluate the porous structure with high precision and reliability.
