Objective: This study aims to address the issue of driving safety on highways in the desert region of Northwest China during extreme weather conditions such as sandstorms, with the goal of reducing driver risk. It explores driver behavior under extreme conditions of sandstorms and sand accumulation, proposing safety speed recommendations and warning models for different environments to calculate the optimal warning distance in windy and sandy conditions.
Methods: Natural driving simulation experiments were conducted in windy and sandy environments, collecting driving behavior data from 45 drivers under varying visibility and road conditions with or without sand accumulation.

Ionic conductive hydrogels (ICHs) are emerging as key materials for advanced human-machine interactions and health monitoring systems due to their unique combination of flexibility, biocompatibility, and electrical conductivity. However, a major challenge remains in developing ICHs that simultaneously exhibit high ionic conductivity, self-healing, and strong adhesion, particularly under extreme low-temperature conditions. In this study, a novel ICH composed of sulfobetaine methacrylate, methacrylic acid, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers, sodium alginate, and lithium chloride is presented.

With climate change causing more extreme weather events globally, climate scientists have argued that societies have three options: mitigation, adaptation or suffering. In recent years, devastating wildfires have caused significant suffering, yet the extent of this suffering has not been defined. To encapsulate this suffering, we determined impacts and effects of extreme wildfires through two systematic literature reviews.

Purpose Of Review: Climate change influences working conditions in various ways, affecting employee health and safety across different sectors. Climatic factors like rising temperatures, increased UV radiation, and more frequent extreme weather events pose risks to in both indoor and outdoor workers. Allergic diseases of the respiratory tract and the skin may emerge due to climate change.
