Rethinking primary particulate matter: Integrating filterable and condensable particulate matter in measurement and analysis.
Sci Total Environ

The current definition of primary particulate matter (PM) encompasses filterable PM (FPM) and condensable PM (CPM), which are evaluated using two distinct conventional measurement methods: cooling and dilution. While the cooling method exclusively considers the homogenous formation of CPM, the dilution method, closer to real-world conditions, neglects FPM characterization. To overcome this limitation, we propose a doubled-dilution system that enables the parallel characterization of both FPM and primary PM without diverting FPM from the CPM formation pathway.

Urban land is a fundamental but scarce resource that carries intensive human socio-economic activities. The demographic decline and housing vacancy issues that emerged with de-industrialization have raised concerns regarding the sustainable utilization of urban land resources, particularly in the American Rust Belt region. In this context, a comprehensive analysis of industrial land use can offer valuable insights to support the sustainable planning of shrinking cities.

Although dust events are common across many regions of the United States, their impacts are not often prioritized in air quality mitigation strategies. We argue that there are at least three factors that result in underestimation of the social and environmental impact of dust events, making them receive less attention.

Drug Product Development, Pfizer Inc., Groton CT 06340, United States.
Article Synopsis
- - Rethinking the standard linear approach to synthesizing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) can lead to significant improvements in sustainability and emissions reduction in the pharmaceutical industry.
- - Co-processed APIs, which involve adding non-active components during manufacturing, offer innovative solutions to reduce the need for excipients, lower manufacturing complexity, and cut down on excessive protective packaging.
- - This commentary explores the sustainability impacts of co-processed APIs, discussing potential business, regulatory, and quality considerations while also suggesting ways to better commercialize these technologies.
Rethinking HDL-C: An In-Depth Narrative Review of Its Role in Cardiovascular Health.

February 2024
Govt. Chhattisgarh institute of Medical sciences, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) has traditionally been viewed as protective against cardiovascular disease (CVD), with higher levels suggesting lower risk.
- Recent research indicates that extremely high HDL-C levels may actually be linked to increased CVD risks, challenging the idea that higher is always better.
- The relationship between HDL-C, genetics, and cardiovascular outcomes is complex, necessitating further studies to understand how HDL-C levels influence CVD risk and guide treatment approaches.*
