Introduction: Levels of plant-based aeroallergens are rising as growing seasons lengthen and intensify with anthropogenic climate change. Increased exposure to pollens could increase risk for mortality from respiratory causes, particularly among older adults. We determined short-term, lag associations of four species classes of pollen (ragweed, deciduous trees, grass pollen and evergreen trees) with respiratory mortality (all cause, chronic and infectious related) in Michigan, USA.

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.
An assessment of seven closed system transfer devices in accordance with the 2015 NIOSH vapor containment performance protocol.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the effectiveness of seven different closed system transfer device (CSTD) product lines following the 2015 NIOSH Vapor Containment Performance Protocol, using a Gasmet™ DX5000 Terra multigas FTIR analyzer.
Methods: Seven different CSTD systems were assessed using a two-task evaluation on their capacity to contain the NIOSH-specified challenge agent, 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Task 1 simulated reconstitution and compounding steps while Task 2 simulated compounding and administration steps.
Identifying and Prioritizing Hazardous Chemicals in Construction Metal Structure Coating Systems: A Roadmap for Data-Driven Disease Prevention.

Department of Public Health, Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, Massachusetts, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Occupational exposure as a painter is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by IARC, with insufficient documentation on the specific chemicals causing health issues among painters.
- A systematic review focused on approved coating products revealed 61 unique chemical substances, including known and possible carcinogens that may lead to serious health problems like various cancers, asthma, and skin diseases.
- The findings highlight critical data gaps regarding exposure to certain hazardous ingredients, suggesting the need for further research and strategies to minimize chemical exposures in the painting profession.*
