Burning and flaring of oil and gas following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill generated high airborne concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM). Neurological effects of PM have been previously reported, but this relationship has received limited attention in the context of oil spills. We evaluated associations between burning-related PM and prevalence of self-reported neurological symptoms during, and 1-3 years after, the DWH disaster cleanup.

Background: Despite evidence from experimental studies linking some petroleum hydrocarbons to markers of immune suppression, limited epidemiologic research exists on this topic.
Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine associations of oil spill related chemicals (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and n-hexane (BTEX-H)) and total hydrocarbons (THC) with immune-related illnesses as indicators of potential immune suppression.
Methods: Subjects comprised 8601 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill clean-up and response workers who participated in a home visit (1-3 years after the DWH spill) in the Gulf Long-term Follow-up (GuLF) Study.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines occupational exposure to organic solvents and VOCs in various industries in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, highlighting that exposure risk varies based on material processing, ventilation, and duration of contact.
- - Over the years 2018 to 2023, the use of organic solvents decreased during the pandemic but increased as conditions improved, with the most common solvents being alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons.
- - Toluene, n-hexane, xylene, and ethylbenzene emerged as high-risk VOCs with significant detection rates, and air samples indicated that trichloroethylene and xylene present a considerable health risk, suggesting the need for stronger monitoring of these substances.

Background: Recent evidence suggests that some flavonoid compounds obtained from crude methanol extract of mistletoe leaves ( ), also known as Benalu Duku (BD), have antimicrobial effects. Thus, the plant has the potential to eliminate viruses that may cause outbreaks in chicken farms. This study aimed to prove the ability of flavonoid compounds, namely quercetin-like compounds (QLCs), to eliminate field viruses, specifically the Newcastle disease virus (NDV).
