“…The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) model was used to evaluate the carcinogenic risk from ingestion, dermal contact, or inhalation of PAHs (Ambade et al 2022 ; Ma et al 2021 ). An ILCR < 10 −6 indicates no significant carcinogenic risk, 10 −6 < ILCR < 10 −4 indicates acceptable carcinogenic risk, ILCR > 10 –4 indicates unacceptable carcinogenic risk from PAHs (Chen et al 2022 ).…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) pose risks to environmental and human health. Identification of priority control contaminants is important in guiding the management and control of these synchronous pollutants. A total of 247 soil samples were collected from 64 urban parks in the karst plateau city of Guiyang in SW China to determine the concentrations, spatial distributions, and health risks of PAHs and HMs. The results indicate that dibenz(ah)anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene are the main PAHs species of high ecological risk, and Cr, Mn, and Ni pose elevated ecological risk among the HMs. Four sources were identified for PAHs (biomass burning, coke oven, traffic sources, and coal burning) and HMs (traffic sources, coal burning, industrial sources, and natural sources). The non-carcinogenic risk (NCR) and total carcinogenic risk (TCR) of PAHs were all determined to be negligible and at acceptable levels, several orders of magnitude below those of HMs. The NCR and TCR values of HMs were relatively high, especially for children (11.9% of NCR > 1; 79.1% of TCR > 10 −4 ). Coal burning and natural sources make the greatest contributions to the NCR and TCR values from karst park soils in Guiyang. Considering HMs bioavailability, NCR and TCR values were rather low, due to the high residual HM fractions. Integrated insights into source specific ecological and human health risk indicate future directions for management and control of synchronous PAH and HM pollution, particularly for karst plateau areas.

“…All people are exposed to a variety of adverse environmental factors. For example, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PM2.5, and metals in the atmosphere, water, and soil are a risk to human health (Ambade et al 2022 , 2023 ; Kumar et al 2020 ; Sun et al 2022 ; Vithanage et al 2022 ). Maternal exposure during pregnancy is important for the health of the fetus.…”

The conclusions about the association of maternal pregnancy environment, occupation, and benzene compounds with fetal CHD are not entirely consistent. Eight hundred seven CHD cases and 1008 controls were included in this study. All occupations were classified and coded against the Occupational Classification Dictionary of the People’s Republic of China (2015 version). Logistic regressions were used to explore the correlation among environmental factors, occupation types, and CHDs in offspring. We found that living near public facilities and having exposure to chemical reagents and hazardous substances were significant risk factors for CHDs in offspring. We found that offspring of mothers who worked in agriculture and similar work during pregnancy suffered from CHD. The risk of all CHDs in the offspring of pregnant women working in production manufacturing and related work was significantly higher than that in unemployed pregnant women, the risk was also observed in 4 subtypes of CHDs. We compared the concentrations of the five metabolite (MA, mHA, HA, PGA, and SPMA) levels of benzene compounds in the urine of mothers in case and control groups and found no significant differences. Our study suggests that maternal exposure during pregnancy and certain environmental and occupational conditions are risk factors for CHD in offspring, but did not support an association between concentrations of metabolites of benzene compounds in the urine of pregnant women and CHDs in their offspring.

“…Spatio temporal analysis refers to the exploration of any information relating to space and time (Gudmundsson et al 2017). Determining the spatial distribution of an air, soil or waterborne contaminant by its abiotic factors can help to develop an understanding of its background sources and influencing factors and is important for environmental and health risk evaluation (Ambade et al 2021a(Ambade et al ,b, 2022aBisht et al 2022;Gupta et al 2022;Ambade and Sethi, 2021;Kurwadkar et al 2021;Maharjan et al 2021). This explains the recent expansion of research on the spatiotemporal analysis of PM i (Deng et al 2022;Han et al 2022;Li et al 2022;Wang et al 2022a,b;Zhang et al 2022;Zhao et al 2022;Owoade et al 2021;Zhou and Lin 2019).…”

Guayaquil, Ecuador, is in a tropical area on the equatorial Pacific Ocean coast of South America. Since 2008 the city has been increasing its population, vehicle fleet and manufacturing industries. Within the city there are various industrial and urban land uses sharing the same space. With regard to air quality there is a lack of government information on it. Therefore, the research’s aim was to investigate the spatio-temporal characteristics of PM1 and PM2.5 concentrations and their main influencing factors. For this, both PM fractions were sampled and a bivariate analysis (cross-correlation and Pearson's correlation), multivariate linear and logistic regression analysis was applied. Hourly and daily PM1 and PM2.5 were the dependent variables, and meteorological variables, occurrence of events and characteristics of land use were the independent variables. We found 48% exceedances of the PM2.5-24 h World Health Organization 2021 threshold’s, which questions the city’s air quality. The cross-correlation function and Pearson’s correlation analysis indicate that hourly and daily temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed have a complex nonlinear relationship with PM concentrations. Multivariate linear and logistic regression models for PM1-24 h showed that rain and the flat orography of cement plant sector decrease concentrations; while unusual PM emission events (traffic jams and vegetation-fires) increase them. The same models for PM2.5-24 h show that the dry season and the industrial sector (strong activity) increase the concentration of PM2.5-24 h, and the cement plant decrease them. Public policies and interventions should aim to regulate land uses while continuously monitoring emission sources, both regular and unusual.
