Objective: This study aimed to determine whether exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is associated with depressive symptoms while also characterizing the contribution of key explanatory factors related to sociodemographics and health. In addition, it aimed to also explore the role of reproductive health as a pathway through which exposure to TRAP may relate to depressive symptoms.

Methods: Participants were 688 healthy reproductive-age women in the Ovarian Aging Study.

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.

Department of Ophthalmology, Guangdong Eye Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, 106 Zhongshan Er Road, Guangzhou, 510080, Guangdong, PR China.

Background: Traffic-related air pollution especially in highly socioeconomically developed megacity is usually considered as a severe problem leading to inevitable adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the associations between traffic-related air pollutants with risk of dry eye disease (DED) outpatient visits in a megacity (Guangzhou) along the subtropical coast in South China.

Methods: Daily data on DED outpatient visits and environmental variables from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 in Guangzhou were obtained.

Particulate matter and potentially toxic element content in urban ornamental plant species to assess pollutants trapping capacity.

J Environ Manage

February 2025

Department of Plant Biology and Ecology, University of Seville, Avda. Reina Mercedes S/n, Apartado de Correos, 1095, 41012, Sevilla, Spain. Electronic address:

Urban environments are usually polluted by anthropogenic activities like traffic, a major source of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), and ornamental plant species may reduce contamination by trapping traffic-related air pollutants in their leaves. The purpose of this study was tested the trapping pollutant capacity of four species commonly used in green areas of Seville city (SW Spain) to better choose species in urban green planning. Composition of particulate matter (PM) obtained from foliar surfaces (sPM) and wax-included (wPM) was determined by EDX-SEM analysis in samples from different city locations.
