Published: November 2024

Fine particulate matter (PM) pollution has raised significant public concerns, especially for vulnerable populations. Studies have indicated the association between PM and ovarian disorders, although the mechanisms underlying the effects have not yet been fully elucidated. In this review, we elucidated three main conditions pertaining to ovarian function that may result from exposure to PM diminished ovarian reserve, polycystic ovary syndrome, and infertility. Specific effects of ovarian disorders caused by PM are discussed, including reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, DNA damage, and inflammation.

Hybrid Nanofibrous Membrane with Durable Electret for Anti-Wetting Air Filtration.

Macromol Rapid Commun

Innovation Center for Textile Science and Technology, College of Textiles, Donghua University, Shanghai, 201620, China.

Electrospun fibrous materials with fine fibers and small pores are fundamental for particulate matter (PM) filtration, addressing its harmful environmental and health impacts. However, the existing electrospun fibers are still limited to their sub-micron diameters and unstable surface electrostatic effect, leading to deteriorated filtration performance after prolonged storage or wetting. Herein, the study creates nanofibrous membranes with long-time stable electrostatics by electret-enhanced electrospinning.

The complex and dynamic nature of airborne fine particulate matter (PM) has hindered understanding of its chemical composition, sources, and toxic effects. In the first steps of a larger study, here, we aimed to elucidate relationships between source regions, ambient conditions, and the chemical composition in water extracts of PM samples ( = 85) collected over 16 months at an observatory in the Yellow Sea. In each extract, we quantified elements and major ions and profiled the complex mixtures of organic compounds by nontarget mass spectrometry.
