“…Among these, XAD ® -2 resins, which are hydrophobic copolymers of styrene-divinylbenzene resin, are widely preferred due to their high efficiency in trapping various types of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. PUF has also been extensively applied for monitoring OCPs and other pollutants such as PCBs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), PAHs, and polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins (PCDDs) [55,[68][69][70]. Some studies have evaluated the trapping efficiency of mixed adsorbents.…”

The escalating utilization of pesticides has led to pronounced environmental contamination, posing a significant threat to agroecosystems. The extensive and persistent global application of these chemicals has been linked to a spectrum of acute and chronic human health concerns. This review paper focuses on the concentrations of airborne pesticides in both indoor and outdoor environments. The collection of diverse pesticide compounds from the atmosphere is examined, with a particular emphasis on active and passive air sampling techniques. Furthermore, a critical evaluation is conducted on the methodologies employed for the extraction and subsequent quantification of airborne pesticides. This analysis takes into consideration the complexities involved in ensuring accurate measurements, highlighting the advancements and limitations of current practices. By synthesizing these aspects, this review aims to foster a more comprehensive and informed comprehension of the intricate dynamics related to the presence and measurement of airborne pesticides. This, in turn, is poised to significantly contribute to the refinement of environmental monitoring strategies and the augmentation of precise risk assessments.

“…The complications of CO poisoning were also reviewed, including immediate death, myocardial impairment, hypotension, arrhythmias, and pulmonary edema. Previous studies showed that several congeners of dioxins/furans could be found in gaseous pollutants emitted from CP or CHP plants [55,56].…”

Over one-third of energy is generated from coal consumption in Taiwan. In order to estimate the health impact assessment attributable to PM2.5 concentrations emitted from coal consumption in Taiwan. We applied a Gaussian trajectory transfer-coefficient model to obtain county-wide PM2.5 exposures from coal consumption, which includes coal-fired power plants and combined heat and power plants. Next, we calculated the mortality burden attributable to PM2.5 emitted by coal consumption using the comparative risk assessment framework developed by the Global Burden of Disease study. Based on county-level data, the average PM2.5 emissions from coal-fired plants in Taiwan was estimated at 2.03 ± 1.29 (range: 0.32–5.64) μg/m3. With PM2.5 increments greater than 0.1 mg/m3, there were as many as 16 counties and 66 air quality monitoring stations affected by coal-fired plants and 6 counties and 18 monitoring stations affected by combined heat and power plants. The maximum distances affected by coal-fired and combined heat and power plants were 272 km and 157 km, respectively. Our findings show that more counties were affected by coal-fired plants than by combined heat and power plants with significant increments of PM2.5 emissions. We estimated that 359.6 (95%CI: 334.8–384.9) annual adult deaths and 124.4 (95%CI: 116.4–132.3) annual premature deaths were attributable to PM2.5 emitted by coal-fired plants in Taiwan. Even in six counties without power plants, there were 75.8 (95%CI: 60.1–91.5) deaths and 25.8 (95%CI: 20.7–30.9) premature deaths annually attributable to PM2.5 emitted from neighboring coal-fired plants. This study presents a precise and effective integrated approach for assessing air pollution and the health impacts of coal-fired and combined heat and power plants.

“…Over the past few years, analytical techniques, such as ion chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography mass spectrometry, have promoted research on the chemical characterisation of OFGs, such as water-soluble ionic species (WSIS), PAHs, and dioxins, in different environmental media [ 9 , 10 , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ]. Although these techniques exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity, they also have some disadvantages.…”
