Interpretation of indoor air surveillance for respiratory infections: a prospective longitudinal observational study in a childcare setting.

EBioMedicine

January 2025

KU Leuven, Dept. of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation, Laboratory of Clinical Microbiology, Herestraat 49, Leuven 3000, Belgium; University Hospitals Leuven, Department of Laboratory Medicine and National Reference Centre for Respiratory Pathogens, Herestraat 49, Leuven 3000, Belgium.

Background: Sampling the air in indoor congregate settings, where respiratory pathogens are ubiquitous, may constitute a valuable yet underutilised data source for community-wide surveillance of respiratory infections. However, there is a lack of research comparing air sampling and individual sampling of attendees. Therefore, it remains unclear how air sampling results should be interpreted for the purpose of surveillance.

Introduction: As airway liquid is cleared into lung interstitial tissue after birth, the chest wall must expand to accommodate this liquid and the incoming air. We examined the effect of applying external positive and negative pressures to the chest wall on lung aeration in near-term rabbit kittens at risk of developing respiratory distress.

Methods: Rabbit kittens (30 days; term ∼31 days) were randomised into and groups.

A Comprehensive OBD Data Analysis Framework: Identification and Factor Analysis of High-Emission Heavy-Duty Vehicles.

Environ Pollut

January 2025

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Urban Transport Emission Research & State Environmental Protection Key Laboratory of Urban Ambient Air Particulate Matter Pollution Prevention and Control, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin, 300071, China.

On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems enable real-time monitoring of NOx emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles (HDDVs). However, few studies have focused on the root cause analysis of these emissions using OBD data. To address this gap, this study proposes an integrated analysis framework for HDDV NOx emissions that combines data processing, high-emission vehicle identification, and emission cause analysis.

Interest in carbon dioxide (CO) sensors is growing rapidly due to the increasing awareness of the link between air quality and health. Indoor, high CO levels signal poor ventilation, and outdoor the burning of fossil fuels and its associated pollution. CO gas sensors based on integrated optical waveguides are a promising solution due to their excellent gas sensing selectivity, compact size, and potential for mass manufacturing large volumes at low cost.

We argue that "processes versus objects" is not a useful dichotomy. There is, instead, substantial theoretical utility in viewing "objects" and "processes" as complementary ways of describing persistence through time, and hence the possibility of observation and manipulation. This way of thinking highlights the role of memory as an essential resource for observation, and makes it clear that "memory" and "time" are also mutually inter-defined, complementary concepts.
