Recent societal shifts aimed at creating a low-carbon society are expected to change the acoustic landscape, such as the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) to electric vehicles (EVs). However, the impact of transitioning to EVs on traffic conditions and health risk reduction remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate traffic efficiency and clarify how shifting from ICEVs to EVs influences health risks associated with road traffic noise. We analysed the relationship between health risk reduction, vehicle composition (i.e., proportion/percentage of heavy vehicles), and traffic speed according to the CNOSSOS-EU noise emission model and the exposure-response functions provided in the Environmental Noise Guidelines by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO-EU). The results were validated by estimating the reduction of health risks in small and large urban areas using actual traffic conditions. The results of the calculations indicate that a greater percentage of heavy EVs and lower traffic speeds lead to a more significant reduction in health risks. In the two selected areas, the region with a higher proportion of heavy EVs achieved a risk reduction of 30–40 %, whereas the area with a lower percentage of heavy EVs experienced approximately a 20 % reduction. The reduction of each health risk in both areas was consistent with the calculation results. In Sapporo City, the health risk reduction was estimated to be 15—20 %. This study demonstrated that transitioning to EVs effectively reduces health risks associated with road traffic noise and identifies the optimal traffic conditions for minimizing these risks. Increasing the adoption of EVs could serve as a significant strategy for alleviating the health impacts of road traffic noise.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73269,"journal":{"name":"Hygiene and environmental health advances","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this overview, we discuss how these exposures along with social conditions and genetic susceptibility can affect children's health in the American West, considering: dusty conditions and coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever), exposed lakebeds and lung health, environmental factors and Kawasaki disease (KD), and dust events and motor vehicle accidents. With this summary, which utilizes a multifactorial approach, we stress further research could confirm current findings in other regions of the American West in addition to California, identify more vulnerable subgroups, and inform better policy.

This study aims to evaluate the microbiological quality of drinking water and its relation to the occurrence of waterborne diseases in outdoor environments over a four-year period. A total of 8497 water samples were analyzed, comprising 7912 outdoor and indoor samples and 585 longitudinal indoor samples from a resort-type hotel complex. The study focused on outdoor water sources such as swimming pools, rivers, lakes, and seas. An experimental design was further implemented to assess the microbiological quality of indoor water sources through a longitudinal case study. Among the 7912 outdoor and indoor samples, 1603 showed total coliforms, 501 exhibited growth of thermotolerant coliforms, and 106 tested positive for <em>Escherichia coli</em> (EC). In contrast, indoor samples demonstrated better microbiological quality, with only 18 samples containing total coliforms and none testing positive for EC. Ensuring the microbiological quality of drinking water is vital for public health and the prevention of waterborne diseases. The presence of contaminants in outdoor sources highlights the need for rigorous control mechanisms and monitoring, especially in high-risk regions. Indoor water sources, when properly maintained, can significantly reduce contamination risks, emphasizing the importance of stringent water treatment and hygiene practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73269,"journal":{"name":"Hygiene and environmental health advances","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143807641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We searched four databases - PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Embase - and conducted a random-effects meta-analysis to estimate STH prevalence and assess risk factors. Additionally, we assessed the odds ratios for STH infections across various risk factors.

Our study results indicate that boys have higher odds of STH infections compared to girls (OR 1.29, 95 % CI 1.01–1.64), and maintaining good personal hygiene, such as regular handwashing, correlates with lower odds of STH infections (OR 0.36, 95 % CI 0.11–1.14). Current mitigation strategies in India include targeted deworming, mass drug administration (MDA), and water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions. Targeted deworming faces challenges as dewormed school children may get reinfected by adults and untreated children. MDA requires substantial resource mobilization while deeply entrenched cultural norms constrain WASH interventions.
