This research aimed at using the field study data from November 1996 to February 1997 to evaluate the particulate air pollution in selected roadside microenvironments in Hong Kong. The study employed microenvironment monitoring technique to access the exposure of pedestrian to respirable suspended particulate and airborne lead at heavily trafficked roadside. A total of 62 roadside sites in 14 ...
This advanced diagnostic method plays a pivotal role in the early and accurate detection of multiple lung conditions: it enables early identification of interstitial lung disease, facilitates monitoring of drug-induced pulmonary toxicity, and provides crucial information for differentiating between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Thus, DLCO test empowers ...

Dust suppression systems work by keeping airborne dust levels under control, reducing the amount workers breathe in, especially in high-risk industries like mining, construction, or manufacturing. ...
This strain’s response to various stimuli, including allergens, pathogens, and other environmental factors, makes it particularly valuable for studying lung diseases and conditions, such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. The Frozen Section Technique The process of preparing frozen sections involves several key steps that ensure the preservation of cellular architecture and ...

Impact on Passengers Respiratory Distress: Passengers with pre-existing conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are highly susceptible to PM2.5 and NOx exposure, which can trigger breathing difficulties and airway inflammation. ...
High levels of nitric oxide can indicate airway inflammation, commonly found in allergic asthma. Asthma is a common respiratory condition that affects around 5.4 million people in the UK , sadly high numbers of people are dying each year from asthma and it is thought a high percentage of these deaths are avoidable. ...
In children the first-line recommended objective test to support a diagnosis of asthma in a child with a history suggestive of asthma is FeNO – there is no alternative first-line test recommended so primary care must have access to FeNO testing for all children presenting without delay. ...
