Substance use disorder is a growing public health challenge in the United States. People who use drugs may be more vulnerable to ambient heat due to the effects of drugs on thermoregulation and their risk environment. There have been limited population-based studies of ambient temperature and drug-related morbidity. We examined short-term associations between daily ambient temperature and emergency

Blanc, Jérôme Boursier, Clémence M. Canivet
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide and the determinants driving its severity remain to be elucidated. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemical compounds. They are used in commonplace products and persistent in water, soil and the human body. In vitro and animal studies suggest a pathogenic role for PFAS

A vision for safer food contact materials: Public health concerns as drivers for improved testing Environ. Int. (IF 11.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-26 Jane Muncke, Anna-Maria Andersson, Thomas Backhaus, Scott M. Belcher, Justin M. Boucher, Bethanie Carney Almroth, Terrence J. Collins, Birgit Geueke, Ksenia J.

Vandenberg, Martin Scheringer
Food contact materials (FCMs) and food contact articles are ubiquitous in today’s globalized food system. Chemicals migrate from FCMs into foodstuffs, so called food contact chemicals (FCCs), but current regulatory requirements do not sufficiently protect public health from hazardous FCCs because only individual substances used to make FCMs are tested and mostly only for genotoxicity while endocrine

Cause-specific accidental deaths and burdens related to ambient heat in a warming climate: a nationwide study of China Environ. Int. (IF 11.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-25 Cheng He, Peng Yin, Renjie Chen, Ya Gao, Wei Liu, Alexandra Schneider, Michelle L. Bell, Haidong Kan, Maigeng Zhou
Background Future warming is projected to increase the heat-related mortality burden, especially for vulnerable populations. However, most previous studies focused on non-accidental morbidity or mortality, with far less research on heat-related accidental events. Methods We collected individual accidental death records among all residents in Chinese mainland from June to August during 2013-2019. Accidental

Silicon (Si) anode with high theoretical specific capacity (3579 mAh g−1) offers great promise for realizing high-energy solid-state batteries (SSBs). However, given Si’s huge volume variations during cycling, sluggish kinetics and unfavorable interface stability with solid-state electrolyte (SSE), its practical potential in SSBs has not been fully exploited. Herein, we propose a design of highly-dense

Solar evaporation with solute replacement towards real-world applications Energy Environ. Sci. (IF 32.5) Pub Date : 2023-09-26 Zhenyuan Xu, Jie Yu, He Shan, Jiebing Wang, Jintong Gao, Zhanyu Ye, Ruzhu Wang
As a promising pathway for sustainable desalination and wastewater treatment, thermally-localized solar evaporation has been successfully demonstrated, mainly with water or NaCl solution. However, the evaporated solution could vary a lot from these ideal choices in real applications, which could trigger the evaporation failure easily.
