“…Furthermore, studies have found that sounds of nature closely associate with restoration [16,17]. In particular, water sound has been reported to improve tranquillity of the soundscape [33], to be the most effective sound masker in urban environments [34] reducing perceived loudness of road traffic noise [17], and to be the most preferred natural sound [35]. Rådsten-Ekman et al [36] tested the effects of water sounds on the perception of noisy environments.…”

“…Protein corona formation on SNP coats the accessible silanol groups on the particle surface thereby modifying the surface charge and reducing the toxicity compared to SNPs tested under serum-free culture conditions. 17,25 Similar nonspecific protein adsorption profile is observed for 50 and 500 nm nonporous SNPs indicating size independent protein corona profile formation on particles. However, it has been shown that size influences the mechanism of uptake by murine alveolar macrophage (RAW264.7) cell lines.…”

Amorphous silica nanoparticles (SNPs) are widely used in biomedical applications and consumer products. Little is known, however, about their genotoxicity and potential to induce gene expression regulation. Despite recent efforts to study the underlying mechanisms of genotoxicity of SNPs, inconsistent results create a challenge. A variety of factors determine particle-cell interactions and underlying mechanisms. Further, high-throughput studies are required to carefully assess the impact of silica nanoparticle physicochemical properties on induction of genotoxic response in different cell lines and animal models. In this article, we review the strategies available for evaluation of genotoxicity of nanoparticles (NPs), survey current status of silica nanoparticle gene alteration and genotoxicity, discuss particle-mediated inflammation as a contributing factor to genotoxicity, identify existing gaps and suggest future directions for this research.

“…The sound levels of waterscapes can be divided into four levels: 58-72 dB (fountain), 64-75 dB (waterfall), 48-61 dB (pond), and 52-68 dB (stream). It has been proved that water sounds with low decibels are more popular than water sounds with high decibels and large frequency amplitudes, whether low frequency (<500 Hz) or high frequency (>3000 Hz) [87,88]. It has also been shown that noise reduction and enhancement of urban soundscapes are two important ways in which nature's sounds promote psychological and mental health [57,86].…”

The WHO estimates that, with the development of urbanization, 25% of the population is suffering from psychological and mental distress. Preliminary evidence has suggested that aquatic environments and riparian areas, i.e., waterscapes, can benefit psychological and mental wellbeing. The aim of this study was to identify the processes of waterscape psychological and mental health promotion through aliterature review. We propose a design framework of waterscapes for achieving psychological and mental health in the general population that often visits waterscapes, which has the function of therapeutic landscapes through values of accessibility, versatility, habitats, and biodiversity. According to theories, waterscapes can improve psychological and mental health to divert negative emotions through mitigation (e.g., reduced urban heat island), instoration (e.g., physical activity and state of nature connectedness), and restoration (e.g., reduced anxiety/attentional fatigue). By accessing water (e.g., streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and the coast) and riparian areas, people can get in close contact with nature and spend more time in activities (e.g., walking, exploring, talking, and relaxing). Waterscapes with healing effects can enhance psychological resilience to promote people’s psychological and mental health. Future research should focus on ensuring an adequate supply of waterscapes and promoting the efficiency of waterscape ecosystem services on mental health. Moreover, fora deep understanding of the complexity of nature–human health associations, it is necessary to explore more consistent evidence for therapeutic waterscapes considering the characteristics and functional mechanisms of waterscape quality, in terms of freshness, luminescence, rippling or fluidity, and cultural value, to benefit public health and biodiversity conservation.
