Radon is a significant indoor air pollutant and a leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. While geogenic radon potential is well-documented, the specific contribution of building materials—particularly historic stones and those containing...
Building materials have become a predominant source of indoor radon in mid- to high-rise buildings, making in situ measurement of radon exhalation rates from building surfaces essential for identifying radon sources and assessing associated risks. Ba...
Negative pressure isolation of COVID-19 patients is critical to limiting the nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2; however, airborne isolation rooms are limited. Alternatives to traditional isolation procedures are needed. The evaluation of an Infec...
As an n-type semiconductor material, tungsten oxide (WO3) has good application prospects in the field of gas sensing. Herein, using oxalic acid (OA), citric acid (CA) and tartaric acid (TA) as auxiliary agents, three homogeneous tungsten oxide nanosh...
Infrared thermal cameras can noninvasively measure the surface temperatures of objects and are widely used as fever-screening systems for infectious diseases. However, body temperature measurements alone are often insufficient for identifying people...
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter purifiers are a recommended method for eliminating respiratory airborne droplets. In this study, the movement of airborne droplets exhaled by occupants in an unventilated, two-bed dormitory room with an a...
To effectively resolve the inherent conflict between dust control and ice prevention on truck roads during North Surface Coal Mine winters, initially, via monomer preference experiments, the optimal monomers for wetting, moisturizing, and condensing...
Given the potential risks of unknown and emerging infectious respiratory diseases, prioritizing an appropriate ventilation strategy is crucial for controlling aerosol droplet dispersion and mitigating cross-infection in hospital wards during post-epi...
Poly(acrylic acid-co-allyl acrylate) statistical copolymers were synthesized in a controlled manner in two steps: first tert.butyl acrylate and allyl acrylate were polymerized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and afterwords the tert.bu...
In this work, we successfully developed a novel and sensitive gas sensor for the determination of trace acetophenone based on its cataluminescence (CTL) emission on the surface of nano-praseodymium oxide (nano-Pr6O11). The effects of working conditio...
The anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin antibody (tezepelumab) has therapeutical potential for inadequately controlled asthma. However, evidence comparing tezepelumab with other biologics is scarce. To address this issue, we performed a network meta-an...
The combination of two-dimensional material MXene and one-dimensional metal oxide semiconductor can improve the carrier transmission rate, which can effectively improve sensing performance. We prepared a trimethylamine gas sensor based on MoO3 nanofi...
Pulmonary delivery of nanomedicines has been extensively studied in recent years because of their enhanced biocompatibility, sustained-release properties, and surface modification capability. The lung as a target also offers many advantages over othe...
The uranium tailings mineral body is large and loose, and this could lead to radioactive contamination. Nuclides and heavy metals released from uranium tailings can be reduced through reinforcement treatment. The current study investigated the effect...
Soils, sediments and rock are natural sources of radon (Rn), which poses an ongoing threat to human health. Numerous studies have measured Rn release from bulk earth materials, yet few have examined microscale controls on Rn flux from solids (emanati...
Nowadays, there is a market need that is pushing manufacturers to support more sustainable product designs regardless of any crisis. Two important lessons that society inferred from the COVID-19 pandemic are that the industry needs an improved collab...
The data on the volumetric radon activity of the Akchatau territory were systematized in the context of radioecological safety. Radon (Rn222 and Rn220) and indoor radon (isotopes Po, Pb, and Bi) make a significant contribution to radon radiation in r...
