Effect of heatwaves on PM2.5 levels in apartments of low-income elderly population. A case study using low-cost air quality monitors
Ruikang He,Ioanna Tsoulou,Sanjeevi Thirumurugesan,B Morgan,Stephania Gonzalez,Deborah Plotnik,Jennifer Senick,Clinton J. Andrews,Gediminas Mainelis +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the effect of high outdoor temperatures on indoor air quality and found that the indoor PM2.5 levels varied among apartments and were greatly affected by the presence of smokers.

Optimizing indoor air quality and noise levels in old school classrooms with air purifiers and HRV: A CONTAM simulation study
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed an operating method to minimize noise while improving indoor air quality through CONTAM simulations, which involves operating the heat recovery ventilation (HRV) in low wind mode during class time and strong windmode during break time.

Indoor Air Quality in Day-Care Centers
TL;DR: In this article , the authors reviewed the indoor environment in day-care centers and concluded that indoor air pollution in daycare centers often exceeds current guidelines, and designers and policymakers should be made aware of the impact on the health and wellbeing of children in day care centers.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution
C. Arden Pope,Richard T. Burnett,Michael J. Thun,Eugenia E. Calle,Daniel Krewski,Kazuhiko Ito,George D. Thurston +6 more
TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.

Worldwide variation in prevalence of symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and atopic eczema: ISAAC. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) Steering Committee.
TL;DR: The variation in the prevalences of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and atopic-eczema symptoms is striking between different centres throughout the world and will form the basis of further studies to investigate factors that potentially lead to these international patterns.

Worldwide variation in prevalence of symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and atopic eczema: ISAAC
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated worldwide prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and atopic disorders in children, and found differences of between 20-fold and 60-fold between centres in the prevalence of symptoms of asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposal for a New Hierarchic Classification System, Actinobacteria classis nov.
TL;DR: A classification system in which phylogenetically neighboring taxa at the genus level are clustered into families, suborders, orders, subclasses, and a class irrespective of those phenotypec characteristics on which the delineation of taxa has been based in the past is presented.
