Environmental and Health Impacts of Air Pollution: A Review
Brain inflammation was observed in dogs living in a highly polluted area in Mexico for a long period ().In human adults, markers of systemic inflammation (IL-6 and fibrinogen) were found to be increased as an immediate response to PNC on the IL-6 level, possibly leading to the production of acute-phase proteins ().The progression of atherosclerosis and oxidative stress seem to be the ...

Air pollution: A systematic review of its psychological, economic, and
This review (178 published articles) is the first to systematically examine the psychological (affective, cognitive, behavioral), economic, and social effects of air pollution beyond its physiological and environmental effects. Affectively, air pollution decreases happiness and life satisfaction, and increases annoyance, anxiety, mental disorders, self-harm, and suicide.

A systematic review of the literature on plastic pollution in the
Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in freshwater systems worldwide, and the Laurentian Great Lakes are no exception. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize the current state of the literature on plastic pollution, including macroplastics (>5 mm) and microplastics (<5 mm), in the Great Lakes.
A Literature Review of the Effects of Air Pollution on COVID ...
Several peer-reviewed papers and reviews have examined the relationship between exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 spread and severity. However, many of the existing reviews on this topic do not extensively present the statistical challenges associated with this field, do not provide comprehensive guidelines for future researchers, and review only the results of a relatively small number ...
Addressing marine plastic pollution: a systematic literature review
After being for a long time disregarded, marine plastic pollution is now a growing topic among scholars, industry and government. It represents an enormous pressing threat to the integrity of the marine ecosystem, influencing its ability to provide socio-economic benefits on which human well-being is based [1].The need to react is clear: the annual discharge of plastic into the ocean is ...
Effects of air pollutants on the transmission and severity of
1. Introduction. In recent decades, air pollution has been a major environmental health hazard for the general population. Increases in outdoor air exposure affect people's health outcomes, directly and indirectly (Burns et al., 2019, 2020; Sun and Zhu, 2019a, 2019b; Manisalidis et al., 2020).However, the scientific literature regarding the extent, range, and nature of the influence of outdoor ...
Plastic Pollution: A Perspective on Matters Arising: Challenges and
Plastic pollution is a persistent challenge worldwide with the first reports evidencing its impact on the living and nonliving components of the environment dating back more than half a century. The rising concerns regarding the immediate and long-term consequences of plastic matter entrainment into foods and water cannot be overemphasized in light of our pursuit of sustainability (in terms of ...

Effects of pollution on freshwater aquatic organisms
Introduction. I n recent years, freshwater ecosystem has experienced serious threats from human activities such as industrial effluents, agricultural activities, urban waste management issues, and increase in urbanization (Meijide et al., 2018; Zhu, Zhang, & Zagar, 2018).In addition, climate change impacts resulting changes in abiotic factors such as precipitation and temperature levels have ...
Policy-induced air pollution health disparities: Statistical ...
Exposure to fine particle air pollution (mainly PM 2.5, particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm) increases the risk of premature death and disease ().In the United States, non-white and lower-income (i.e., marginalized) communities bear a larger health burden of air pollution than others, partly owing to racist and exclusionary government policies.
A Short Review on Land/Soil Pollution: The Pollutants and ...
Pollutants have affected the different components of the ecosystems such as the biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and lithosphere. The motions of these pollutants (gaseous, liquid and solid pollutants) through the ecosystems have a great influence on its bioavailability (Olukanni & Adeoye, 2012).The pollutant enters through any of the ecosystem and is distributed quickly especially when there ...
Comprehensive review of the current literature on impact of ...
Air pollution is associated with increasing morbidity, mortality and decreasing health and life span. Accumulating epidemiological and experimental evidence has shown that exposure to ambient air pollutants such as particulate matters (PM) and gaseous components [eg, nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), ozone (O 3)] has detrimental effects on sleep quality.We conducted this comprehensive review to explore ...
