“…The potential value of SR methods for similarly advancing toxicology and chemical risk assessment was first mooted in the published literature around the mid-2000s (Guzelian et al 2005;Hoffmann and Hartung 2006). By 2014, the first SR frameworks for chemical risk assessment had been published (European Food Safety Authority 2010; Rooney et al 2014;Woodruff and Sutton 2014), with subsequent rapid uptake from regional (Schaefer and Myers 2017), national (Yost et al 2019), and international agencies (Descatha et al 2020;Orellano et al 2020).…”

Background: Although the implementation of systematic review and evidence mapping methods stands to improve the transparency and accuracy of chemical assessments, they also accentuate the challenges that assessors face in ensuring they have located and included all the evidence that is relevant to evaluating the potential health effects an exposure might be causing. This challenge of information retrieval can be characterized in terms of “semantic” and “conceptual” factors that render chemical assessments vulnerable to the streetlight effect. Objectives: This commentary presents how controlled vocabularies, thesauruses, and ontologies contribute to overcoming the streetlight effect in information retrieval, making up the key components of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs) that enable more systematic access to assessment-relevant information than is currently achievable. The concept of Adverse Outcome Pathways is used to illustrate what a general KOS for use in chemical assessment could look like. Discussion: Ontologies are an underexploited element of effective knowledge organization in the environmental health sciences. Agreeing on and implementing ontologies in chemical assessment is a complex but tractable process with four fundamental steps. Successful implementation of ontologies would not only make currently fragmented information about health risks from chemical exposures vastly more accessible, it could ultimately enable computational methods for chemical assessment that can take advantage of the full richness of data described in natural language in primary studies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP6994

“…There was also sufficient and robust evidence that the short-term exposure to O 3 , NO 2 , particulate matter was positively correlated with ozone all-cause mortality [51,52], the death rate attributed to O 3 was the highest proportion of the six basic pollutants, and the meager ozone pollution would cause higher mortality rate [53]. The chemical interconversion between NO 2 and O 3 , coupled with the fact that both are associated with health effects, has also led to recent interest [54].…”

During the eruption of COVID-19, a citywide lockdown was executed from 26 January to 23 March 2020, in Shenyang, in which the ozone pollution has recorded significant variations. This paper mainly anatomized the comprehensive characteristics and evolution trends of ozone pollution based on the lockdown period in the first half of 2020. Using the Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model and cluster analysis method to establish backward trajectories and channels, the spatial transport process of ozone in the preset period and the causation of typical ozone pollution events were investigated in depth. The results demonstrated that: The ozone concentration pollution in the first half of 2020 was increased than last year. During the lockdown period, the basic pollutants levels were lower than that in pre-lockdown under different proportions, except O3 maximum 8-h moving average (MDA8) was increased by 69.7%, accompanied by the delay of daily peak value, increased pollution days and longer pollution cycle. The typical pollution events were highly consistent with the evolution path of fine aerosol compelled by extreme weather. The ozone concentration and the atmospheric oxidation capacity can be stably maintained at a low level when NO2 concentration remained at 50–70 μg/m3, no matter how much the AQI was. Meanwhile, ozone concentration in the downwind suburban was as low as the central city and soared in few stations amid post-lockdown, simultaneous the correlation between ozone and other pollutants converted from negative to positive. The trajectory indicated that the pollution sources during the lockdown and pre-lockdown were basically Southern Russia, Inner Mongolia, and the three provinces of Northeast China, the pollution from the Bohai Sea provoked ozone pollutants in Shenyang to rebound briskly amid post-lockdown, the pollution of neighboring countries and areas would have a stronger impact on air quality under the effect of lockdown.

“…Various indoor and outdoor air pollutants are linked in epidemiology studies to the symptoms, hospital admissions and development of numerous health outcomes such as asthma (Fan et al 2016 ), cardiovascular disease (Cesaroni et al 2014 ; Wang et al 2015 ; Münzel et al 2018 ), skin diseases (Balmes 2019 ), birth outcomes (Li et al 2019 ), sperm quality (Lafuente et al 2016 ), type 1 and 2 diabetes (Ritz et al 2019 ; Howard 2019 ), lung cancer (Lipfert and Wyzga 2019 , Hamra et al 2014 )—even with the spread and increase of Covid-19’s morbidity and mortality (Bilal et al 2020 ; Comunian et al 2020 ; Rodríguez-Urrego and Rodríguez-Urrego 2020 ) and other disease mortality (Fajersztajn et al 2017 ; Liu et al 2019 ; Orellano et al 2020 ). Most of these epidemiology studies were conducted in the developed world and very few in Africa (Ostro et al 2018 ; Rodríguez-Urrego and Rodríguez-Urrego 2020 , Orellano et al 2020 ; Liu et al 2019 ; Ofori et al 2020 , Katoto et al 2019 ; Wichmann and Voyi 2012 ; Coker and Kizito 2018 ; Lokotola et al 2020 ).…”

PM 2.5 in the indoor and outdoor environment has been linked in epidemiology studies to the symptoms, hospital admissions and development of numerous health outcomes including death. The study was conducted during April 2017 and April 2018. PM 2.5 samples were collected over 24 h and every third day. The mean PM 2.5 level was 13.4 μg m −3 (range: 1.17-39.1 μg m −3). PM 2.5 levels exceeded the daily World Health Organization air quality guideline (25 μg m −3) on 14 occasions. The mean soot level was 1.38 m −1 × 10 −5 (range: 0 to 5.38 m −1 × 10 −5). Cl − , NO 3 − , SO 4 2− , Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Na and Zn were detected in the PM 2.5 samples. The geographical origin of air masses that passed Cape Town was estimated using the Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory software. Four air masses were identified in the cluster analysis: Atlantic-Ocean-WSW, Atlantic-Ocean-SW, Atlantic-Ocean-SSW and Indian-Ocean. The population of Cape Town may experience various health outcomes from the outdoor exposure to PM 2.5 and the chemical composition of PM 2.5 .
