While the exact etiology of ASD remains elusive, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to the role of environmental factors in its development. Among these factors, environmental pollution has emerged as a potential contributor to the rising prevalence of ASD cases worldwide. This review delves into the growing body of scientific evidence suggesting a significant association between environmental pollution and the risk of ASD. It explores the environmental pollution that have been implicated, including air pollution, water contaminants, heavy metals, pesticides, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. The detrimental impact of these pollutants on the developing brain, particularly during critical periods of gestation and early childhood has been discussed. This will provide insights into the possible mechanisms by which the various pollutants may influence the neurodevelopmental pathways underlying ASD. Additionally, the potential interplay between genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure is explored to better understand the multifactorial nature of ASD causation. Considering the alarming increase in ASD prevalence and the ubiquity of environmental pollutants, this review emphasizes the urgent need for further investigation and the adoption of comprehensive preventive measures.","PeriodicalId":21165,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Environmental Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144044576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the emergence of new evidence, updated meta-analyses is essential. A search was performed on multiple databases including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to Jan 2025. Hazard ratios (HRs), relative risks (RRs), or incidence rate ratios (IRRs) with their 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and pooled. Moreover, a comprehensive and detailed quality assessment of the included studies was conducted to validate the plausibility of the findings. Overall, 57 original studies were included, covering 36 cancer categories and including overall cancer and malignancies specific to particular anatomical sites. For each increase of 10 μg per cubic meter in PM2.5 concentration, there was an observed pooled HR of 1.07 for overall cancer (95 %CI:1.02-1.13). In the case of site-specific cancers, the pooled HRs were 1.11 (95 %CI:1.07-1.15), 1.06 (95 %CI:1.02-1.11), 1.17 (95 %CI:1.07-1.28), and 1.14 (95 %CI:1.03-1.26) for lung, breast, liver and esophageal cancers, respectively. Furthermore, PM2.5 exposure may potentially correlate with the risk of cancers at other anatomical locations including upper aerodigestive tract, oral cavity, kidney, skin, as well as digestive organs. In light of available evidence, it is inferred that PM2.5 exposure could potentially raise overall cancer risk with moderate certainty. As for site-specific malignancies, there is very low certainty evidence for lung cancer, low certainty evidence for breast cancer, and moderate certainty evidence for both liver and esophageal cancers.","PeriodicalId":21165,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Environmental Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144021502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dry pine needle waste acts as a fuel for forest fires which release harmful compounds into the atmosphere. The particulate matter in the smoke, released during forest fires, adversely affects human health. The top layer of fertile ground is harmed by unburned bioresidue. Moreover, pine needles provide the ground for pests' growth, creating a threat to nearby vegetation and structures. Managing pine needle waste through conversion into sustainable materials and energy will help reduce environmental pollution and health risks. The biosorbents from pine needle waste can be used to remove heavy metals and dyes from wastewater. The remote forest areas may be supplied with electricity obtained through the gasification of pine needles. The extracts from pine needles offer a variety of benefits such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial. Currently, laws and subsidies promote the use of forest biomass to create biofuels.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined risk thresholds for Group I HDM allergens as a concentration of 2 and 10 μg/mL in dust for producing asthma risk and polar asthma attacks, respectively. Continuing exposure to high concentrations of HDM allergens greatly increases the risk of developing allergic diseases. Therefore, it's necessary to determine the exposure levels of HDM allergens to estimate the risk. So, various approaches have been developed to directly or indirectly detect HDM allergens in the environment. This paper overviews the developmental progress of HDM allergen detection and introduces the principle of HDM allergen detection methods, including semi-quantitative radioallergosorbent test (RAST), ACAREX test, dot immunobinding assay (DIBA), radioimmunoassay (RIA) which combines the high sensitivity and accuracy, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with high accuracy, fluorescent multiple arrays which can simultaneously detect multiple HDM allergens, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) with high sensitivity and accuracy. The paper provides an overall understanding of the development of HDM allergen detection methods and guidance for choosing an appropriate method to detect HDM allergens.","PeriodicalId":21165,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Environmental Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quality was assessed using the EPHPP tool, and Best Evidence Synthesis (BES) evaluated the findings.Summary: The review found 36 associations between ambient air pollutants and adverse mental health outcomes across seven life-course exposure periods. Strong evidence linked early-life PM2.5 and NO2 exposures to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and childhood exposures to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Significant, though inconsistent, associations were found between air pollutants and cognitive impairments, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and other behavioral problems. The heterogeneity of exposure limits and lack of experimental studies hinder causal assessment.Outlook: Compelling evidence links early-life and childhood exposure to PM2.5 and NO2 with ASD and ADHD. These findings highlight the need for public health policy changes and further research to explore these associations comprehensively.","PeriodicalId":21165,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Environmental Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and searched Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Web of Science for relevant studies from inception up to 31 January 2024. Fifty-six studies were included with most articles published from 2016 to 2023 (n=33, 59 %) and 35 were in high income countries (63 %). Living close to CFPPs was frequently associated with increased odds or likelihood of respiratory disorders, adverse birth outcomes and child developmental issues. Interventions such as emission control systems or total shutdown of CFPPs led to improved health among communities living near CFPPs. The review highlights the health impacts from air pollution associated with living in proximity to CFPPs and the need for policy measures to reduce air pollution by installing emission control technologies or transitioning to cleaner energy sources.","PeriodicalId":21165,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Environmental Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143557818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It highlights the advantages of endophytic bacteria over environmental microorganisms, including the prolonged survival of inoculated strains, in vivo biodegradation of PAEs, and multifunctional capabilities. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which endophytic bacteria mitigate PAE accumulation across the three defense lines (soil, crops, and the human body) are elucidated. The integrated approach of employing both plants and microbial agents for the remediation of PAEs demonstrates considerable potential for ensuring the safety of agricultural products and safeguarding human health. This work offers new insights into addressing the challenges posed by organic pollutant contamination and reducing PAE accumulation in the human body.","PeriodicalId":21165,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Environmental Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143123507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
