Ozone has been used as an antibacterial agent for various purposes in healthcare. The use of ozone in dental practice is also well-established. Its utilization as a mouth rinse needs to be explored for further application in clinical practice, especially for cases of gingivitis, a common complaint. This systematic review aims to analyze the literature on the effects of ozonated water in managing gingival inflammation and bleeding across diverse populations. A systematic search adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane. Studies published between January 2012 and December 2023 employing ozonated water as a treatment for gingivitis or gingival bleeding were included. Five studies met the inclusion criteria, demonstrating the varied efficacy of ozonated water. While some studies showed promising results in reducing bleeding and gingival inflammation, others indicated limitations compared to chlorhexidine. Methodological heterogeneity and lack of standardization were notable. The evidence suggests potential benefits of ozonated water in managing gingival inflammation and bleeding, but methodological variations hinder conclusive findings. Long-term studies with larger sample sizes and standardized protocols are needed to establish the effectiveness of ozonated water as an adjunctive therapy for gingival health.

National and international guidelines call for greater environmental sustainability in agriculture through the introduction of the circular economy. Recent studies investigate the introduction of new technologies and methodologies in the field, however, few focus on initial stages at the plant nursery or the management of the involved materials, and none scientifically calculate their environmental impact. To fill this gap, this paper focuses on an Italian case study that quantifies the environmental impact of the traditional seed trays used worldwide for growing, transporting and transplanting tomato seedlings, proposing and evaluating two alternatives from a circular economy perspective.

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.

Fungal contamination in drinking water has garnered considerable attention over the past few decades, especially considering the detrimental consequences of pathogenic fungal species on both human and animal health. The formation of biofilms by certain species is a considerable factor contributing to the emergence of severe fungal infections. This research was designed to isolate and identify fungi, particularly those capable of forming biofilms from 150 samples of drinking water sourced from various locations.

Land use and land cover changes (LULCC) alter local surface attributes, thereby modifying energy balance and material exchanges, ultimately impacting meteorological parameters and air quality. The North China Plain (NCP) has undergone rapid urbanization in recent decades, leading to dramatic changes in land use and land cover. This study utilizes the 2020 land use and land cover data obtained from the MODIS satellite to replace the default 2001 data in the Weather Research and Forecasting-Community Multiscale Air Quality (WRF-CMAQ) model.

Electronic address:
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have proven to be an effective solution for chemical wastewater treatment, particularly for degradation of organic pollutants, especially dyes. Ozonation is recognized as one of the most prevalent AOPs. Nevertheless, some cases show a lowered efficiency of O utilization which is attributed to its inadequate distribution in the treated water causing low residence time, low mass transfer coefficient as well as shorter half-life.
