“…The relation between timing of the haze and the carcinogenesis of lung cancers seems implausible and could not be proposed. However, this is likely secondary to the increased incidence of respiratory symptoms that unmask the lung cancer at diagnosis in which we have reported recently . Xu et al .…”

“…However, this is likely secondary to the increased incidence of respiratory symptoms that unmask the lung cancer at diagnosis in which we have reported recently. 40 Xu et al 41 reported adjusted hazards ratio (HR) increased for a 10 μg/m 3 increase in PM10 for lung cancers. Eckel et al 42 examined 352 053 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer in California and observed reduced survival with higher average of air pollutant components such as nitric oxide and PM 2.5 and PM 10 .…”

“…Même si le rôle de la pollution atmosphérique dans l'étiologie des maladies respiratoires chroniques est encore un sujet de débat, de nombreuses études épidémiologiques ont mis en évidence des liens entre maladies cardio-respiratoires et pollution atmosphérique, notamment par des particules fines d'origine chimique ou organique [1] [3]. L'exposition, même à court terme (pic de pollution) ou chronique, à la pollution atmosphérique semble être associée aux troubles asthmatiques [4], au cancer du poumon [5] et du rein [6], à l'infarctus du myocarde [7], aux perturbations de la fonction thyroïdienne [8], à la croissance des cellules épithéliales bronchiques [9] et à l'augmentation de la mortalité cardiovasculaire [10]. Selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, la pollution atmosphérique cause chaque année en moyenne la mort prématurée d'environ six millions de personnes dans le monde [11].…”

Regular commuters of public transportation are chronically exposed to sanitary issues and pollution particles that can get into the body through three main ways: breathing, eating and skin pores. While it is hardly conceivable to completely stop particulate matters to get into the body via respiration and skin pores– one cannot stop to breathe or to close his body pores in public transports – it is fully possible to reduce inhalable doses of pollutants by avoiding food consumption in urban mass transit systems that usually serve short and endurable distances in local municipalities. Recommending against eating food on public transports should produce positive outcomes for the sanitary conditions of the transportation means itself and for the health of passengers.

“…Similarly, Saudi Arabian dust storms also are known to have associations with haze events in India [6]. Such an event occurred in 2015 and resulted in 100,000 premature deaths across Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore [7]. Thus, these events pose a severe impact to public health and the absence of global agreements on monitoring and controlling may result in an increasing threat in the near future.…”

Impact of haze events on airborne bacterial consortia–a case study

Transboundary haze events received a noticeable attention recently, due to their frequent occurrences. They are mainly, consequences of anthropogenic activities. Sri Lanka experienced a haze event parallel to India in November 2019, the first air pollution event in Sri Lanka linked to a haze event in India. Due to the limited availability of information on haze-related microorganisms, we conducted this study in Kandy, Sri Lanka, aiming to explore the airborne bacterial consortia during a haze event. The natural sedimentation method was used for air sampling. Bacterial identification and the total bacterial load were determined using Sanger sequencing and qPCR. Notably, the total bacterial load was elevated by ~ 40% with the haze and decreased with decreasing haze intensity. The highest bacterial load was reported during the day time of the most intense hazy day (1.89 × 106 cells/µl) compared to non-hazy days (lowest; 1.12 × 105 cells/µl). Twelve bacterial species were identified and the most abundant phylum was Proteobacteria. The most common species observed during haze was Acinetobacter modestus. The percentage of culturable bacterial species was also high during the haze event (75% during day time of the most intense hazy day compared to 25% on the control). Two human pathogenic bacteria Burkholderia multivorans and Chryseobacterium gleum were found only during the haze event. Therefore, haze events could be hazardous to humans by means of the presence and fluctuating amounts of pathogenic bacteria. Thus, these findings are important in developing policies and guidelines to monitor and minimize the negative impact of haze events.
