The maritime transport sector poses significant air quality concerns, particularly in nearby cities. Ultrafine particles (UFP, diameter < 100 nm) are of particular concern due to their potential health impacts. This study measured particle number concentrations (PNC), size distributions (PNSD), and other pollutants including particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NO), black carbon (BC), sulfur dioxide (SO) and ozone (O), organic markers and trace elements at a major European harbor and an urban background (UB) location.

Identifying the healthy places to live in Australia with a new environmental quality health index.

Climate, Air Quality Research Unit, School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Electronic address:

Background: Existing environmental quality indices often fail to account for the varying health impacts of different exposures and exclude socio-economic status indicators (SES).

Objectives: To develop and validate a comprehensive Environmental Quality Health Index (EQHI) that integrates multiple environmental exposures and SES to assess mortality risks across Australia.

Methods: We combined all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality data (2016-2019) from 2,180 Statistical Areas Level 2 with annual mean values of 12 environmental exposures, including PM, ozone, temperature, humidity, normalized difference vegetation index, night light, road and building density, and socioeconomic status.

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Volatile-Mediated Insect Ecosystem Services.

Glob Chang Biol

Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland.

Primary and secondary atmospheric pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO), ozone (O), sulphur dioxide (SO) and particulate matter (PM/PM) with associated heavy metals (HMs) and micro- and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs), have the potential to influence and alter interspecific interactions involving insects that are responsible for providing essential ecosystem services (ESs). Given that insects rely on olfactory cues for vital processes such as locating mates, food sources and oviposition sites, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are of paramount importance in interactions involving insects. While gaseous pollutants reduce the lifespan of individual compounds that act as olfactory cues, gaseous and particulate pollutants can alter their biosynthesis and emission and exert a direct effect on the olfactory system of insects.

Atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NO), hydrogen sulphide (HS) and carbon monoxide (CO): Boon or Bane for plant metabolism and development?

Environ Pollut

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Delhi, Delhi 110007, India. Electronic address:

Urban air pollution has been a global challenge world-wide. While urban vegetation or forest modelling can be useful in reducing the toxicities of the atmospheric gases by their absorption, the surge in gaseous pollutants negatively affects plant growth, thereby altering photosynthetic efficiency and harvest index. The present review analyses our current understanding of the toxic and beneficial effects of atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NO), hydrogen sulphide (HS) and carbon monoxide (CO) on plant growth and metabolism.

High performance ozone nanobubbles based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for degradation of organic pollutants under high pollutant loading.

Electronic address:

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have proven to be an effective solution for chemical wastewater treatment, particularly for degradation of organic pollutants, especially dyes. Ozonation is recognized as one of the most prevalent AOPs. Nevertheless, some cases show a lowered efficiency of O utilization which is attributed to its inadequate distribution in the treated water causing low residence time, low mass transfer coefficient as well as shorter half-life.
