This paper analyses monthly data on significant changes in mean AQI and PM10 levels from 2017 to 2023 in one of teh most populous states of India, and highlights that intensified provisions may be necessary for cities predicted to fall short of meeting program targets.
This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by showing that the rise in night-time heat due to climate change, which is particularly strong in urban areas due to the urban heat island effect, could have implications for health. The study found a significant association between night-time excess heat and risk of hospitalisation. Rapid urbanisation in low-income and middle-income countries means the numbers of people exposed to excess night-time heat will increase.
Globalization, westernization, and urbanization over the last decades, leading to changes in dietary habits as well as food production, consequently, rising non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and environmental degradation. This study attempts to identify Thailand's dietary changes, considering health and sustainability aspects, and to determine correlations between these changes and NCD cases as well as environmental impacts (GHG emissions, land-, nitrogen-, phosphorus-use).
This study demonstrates the large rooftop photovoltaic energy potential of China’s capital cities, showing that rooftop installations could also mitigate heat.
This research examines how indigenous archaeology and how the emergence of the first urban centers in the Mongolian steppe coincided with the establishment of the Uyghur Khaganate during the mid-eighth century CE.
In this study, the authors estimate the causal effect of air pollution on eye and ear health. They find that eye or ear disease possibility rises 1.48% for a 10 μg/m3 increase in four-week average PM2.5 concentration. The impacts can last about 28 weeks and will be insignificant afterward.
This article provides evidence that disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier contributes to sarcopenia and functional dependence in patients with AD. RE may be an effective therapy to strengthen the intestinal mucosal barrier, reduce sarcopenia, and improve functional performance in patients with AD.
This Article supports SDG3 by evaluating the cost-effectiveness of integrating simplified hepatitis C virus testing with HIV PrEP treatment among men who have sex with men.
This Article supports SDG 4 by documenting significant improvements in fibrosis-based liver disease burden with direct-acting antivirals, among a cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
