Framed within SDG Target 8.8, the research utilizes data from Scopus and Google Scholar to map research trends, technological trajectories, and adoption dynamics. The findings demonstrate a transition from conventional PPE to intelligent, sensor-enabled systems integrated with artificial intelligence and real-time monitoring, thereby enhancing hazard detection and worker health surveillance. Despite increasing technical maturity, adoption is hindered by privacy concerns, cost-prohibitive procurement, and digital infrastructure deficits, particularly in the Global South. The study underscores the necessity of robust data governance and user-centered design to mitigate these barriers. It contributes a scientometric roadmap that bridges technological innovation with human-centric adoption, offering strategic insights for aligning construction safety practices with global sustainability mandates.","PeriodicalId":93879,"journal":{"name":"Archives of environmental & occupational health","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147791770","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}

Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 40) receiving a three-session ergonomic training program or a control group (n = 40) receiving usual practice. Primary outcomes were MSD prevalence and absenteeism; the secondary outcome was quality of life (SF-36). Assessments were conducted at baseline (T0) and 6 months (T6). After 6 months, the intervention group reported a significant reduction in MSD prevalence in the cervical spine (from 55% to 30%, p = 0.01), shoulders (55% to 35%, p = 0.03), hands (40% to 20%, p = 0.008), and fingers (35% to 20%, p = 0.03) compared to baseline and to the control group.

A total of 150 participants aged 18-65 were included. Data were collected using validated instruments: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), and the Job Performance Scale (JPS). Participants were divided into three groups based on their daily UPF consumption: low (<306.97 g/day), moderate (306.97-778.57 g/day), and high (>778.57 g/day). The mean UPF intake was 507.3 ± 288.1 g/day. Overall, 51.3% of participants had poor sleep quality. Mean PSQI scores were 5.05 ± 2.12 in the low UPF group and 5.48 ± 3.21 in the high group (p = 0.360). Participants in the high UPF group had a mean WEMWBS score of 60.04 ± 9.45, compared to 56.10 ± 7.02 in the low UPF group (p = 0.019). The high UPF group showed higher job performance scores (mean = 50.44 ± 4.93) compared to the moderate group (mean = 46.23 ± 7.27) and the low group (mean = 46.07 ± 7.25) (p = 0.016). While the findings suggest a positive association between UPF consumption and both mental well-being and job performance, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the cross-sectional nature of the study. Further research is needed to explore long-term effects and underlying mechanisms. Additionally, future research could examine whether short-term improvements in mood or energy from UPF consumption translate into long-term health tradeoffs.","PeriodicalId":93879,"journal":{"name":"Archives of environmental & occupational health","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147694157","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}

Elevated Pb concentrations were detected in both water and workers' blood samples,with concentrations in water ranging from 0.83 to 1.68 mg L-1 ± 0.21 and in blood from 0.022 ± 0.068 mg L-1 to 0.922 ± 0.147 mg L-1.

We conducted this systematic review to estimate the relation of AFB1 exposure during pregnancy to neonatal outcomes.Methods: Scopus and PubMed databases were systematically searched for relevant publications published before December 2022 evaluating the connection between AFB1 exposure in pregnant women and outcomes such as small for gestational age (SGA), birth length, low birth weight (LBW), birth weight, and preterm birth (PTB).Results: This study comprised 7 studies with a combined sample size of 4,047 participants. After pooling all available effect sizes, it was determined that there was no significant correlation between increased AFB1 exposure during pregnancy and SGA, PTB, LBW, birth weight, and birth length. Significant heterogeneity was observed across studies for LBW (I2 = 68.6%, p = 0.02), birth weight (I2 = 96.8%, p ≤ 0.001), and birth length (I2= 93.1%, p ≤ 0.001). However, the sensitivity analysis suggested that exposure to AFB1 might be significantly linked to higher odds of LBW infants and inversely related to both birth weight and birth length.Conclusion: Exposure to AFB1 in pregnant women might be linked to adverse neonatal outcomes. Given the heterogeneity and the limited number of studies available, further high-quality, standardized research is essential to confirm or refute these findings with greater confidence.","PeriodicalId":93879,"journal":{"name":"Archives of environmental & occupational health","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145770154","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}
