The discussion began with Kunzli's observations [45] about the double action of air pollution on both the long-term underlying diseases and the short term risk of death: the author identified four different combinations: (a) air pollution increases the risks of both underlying diseases, leading to frailty, and of short-term mortality among the frail; (b) air pollution increases the risk of chronic diseases but is unrelated to the timing of death; (c) air pollution is unrelated to chronic diseases but short term exposure increases mortality among the frail; (d) neither underlying chronic disease nor death is related to air pollution exposure. keywords: air pollution; assessment; effects; exposure; health; health effects; impact; mortality; particulate; population; risk; studies; study; term; term exposure cache: cord-348994-ly2fop7d.txt plain text: cord-348994-ly2fop7d.txt item: #79 of 82 id: cord-349807-ar77cnsa author: Rouadi, Philip W. title: Immunopathological features of air pollution and its impact on inflammatory airway diseases (IAD) date: 2020-10-05 words: 8643 flesch: 23 summary: Taken together, controlled airway exposure studies to ambient pollutants in healthy individuals show small but significant negative health effects whereas exposure studies in allergic patients support the role of pollutants in increasing atopic airway hypersensitivity.

paper, we introduced a methodology that CNT air filter can be fabricated by coating aerosolized CNTs on a filter at atmospheric pressure and room temperature condition. CNT air filter also can be fabricated by CNT growth on a filter medium via CVD process [33] , where a tube furnace need to be used. keywords: air; carbon; cnt; cnts; efficiency; fig; filter; filtration; particle; solution; substrate; virus cache: cord-351180-g13zteit.txt plain text: cord-351180-g13zteit.txt item: #81 of 82 id: cord-353209-qkhfp66l author: Steiner, Daniel J. title: Array-based analysis of SARS-CoV-2, other coronaviruses, and influenza antibodies in convalescent COVID-19 patients date: 2020-06-16 words: 2527 flesch: 36 summary: 15 We have previously reported the utility of influenza antigen arrays fabricated on the AIR platform for assessment of anti-influenza antibodies in human, animal, and avian serum, 16, 17 both as a tool for viral surveillance and for assessment of the efficacy of a candidate vaccine. Other coronavirus antigens including nucleocapsid (N) are also likely candidates for addition to the array, as they are known to produce an immune response (as seen in the ELISA results, for example). keywords: air; antibodies; antibody; antigen; array; cov-2; influenza; sars cache: cord-353209-qkhfp66l.txt plain text: cord-353209-qkhfp66l.txt item: #82 of 82 id: cord-355567-60sfv60p author: Azuma, Kenichi title: Environmental factors involved in SARS-CoV-2 transmission: effect and role of indoor environmental quality in the strategy for COVID-19 infection control date: 2020-11-03 words: 9233 flesch: 37 summary: World Health Organization Saliva: potential diagnostic value and transmission of 2019-nCoV Measures against COVID-19 concerning Summer Indoor Environment in Japan Interaction of aerosol particles composed of protein and salts with water vapor: hygroscopic growth and microstructural rearrangement Study on thermal environmental ununiformity in office buildings Survey on control of indoor air environment in office buildings: Part5 evaluation of thermal environment by domestic and international standards Wells revisited: infectious particles vs. quanta of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection-don't get them confused Risk of indoor airborne infection transmission estimated from carbon dioxide concentration A probabilistic transmission dynamic model to assess indoor airborne infection risks Potential for airborne transmission of infection in the waiting areas of healthcare premises: stochastic analysis using a Monte Carlo model Review and comparison between the Wells-Riley and dose response approaches to risk assessment of infectious respiratory diseases Airborne infection.
