Inhalation exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) during the fabrication of engineered stone-based kitchen countertops has been on the rise in recent years and has become a significant occupational health problem in the United States and globally. Little is known about the presence of nanocrystalline silica (NCS), i.e.

Conventional fluorescent probes with weak fluorescence signals and aggregation-caused quenching effect limits in biomarkers detection, thus requiring many labeled target molecules to combine their output to achieve higher signal-to noise. Here, we harness a "immune-sandwich" based affinity sensor with development of ultrabright aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) microspheres as signal reporter. The fabricated sensor can simultaneously permit triple detection formats by naked eye, spectrum, and computer vision counting (termed "NeSCV sensor").

Co-exposure to ground-level ozone (O) and fine particles (PM, ≤ 2.5 µm in diameter) has become a primary scenario for air pollution exposure of urbanites in China. Recent studies have suggested a synergistic effect of PM and O on induction of lung inflammatory injury.

Exposure to diesel exhaust is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and lung disease. Substituting petroleum diesel with renewable diesel can alter emission properties but the potential health effects remain unclear. This study aimed to explore toxicity and underlying mechanisms of diesel exhaust from renewable fuels.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) fundamentally differ from tobacco cigarettes in their generation of liquid-based aerosols. Investigating how e-cig aerosols behave when inhaled into the dynamic environment of the lung is important for understanding vaping-related exposure and toxicity. A ventilated artificial lung model was developed to replicate the ventilatory and environmental features of the human lung and study their impact on the characteristics of inhaled e-cig aerosols from simulated vaping scenarios.
