Coal as an energy source and its impacts on human health
...
Gasparotto, Juciano | 2021

Attempts to secure more energy, food, and infrastructure leave a trail of environmental contamination and human health hazards. Coal is a fossil fuel and nonrenewable energy source that is combusted and used to generate electricity. A coal-fired power plant is a prodigious generator of environmental pollution, releasing large quantities of particles as aerosols in the atmosphere. The inhalation of hazardous substances such as coal micro-particles, nanoparticles, and its by-products constitutes an invisible risk to human health. Although coal is predominantly composed of carbon, there are many other constituents including sulfur, nitrogen, organometallic compounds, and minerals, that contribute to the formation of extremely toxic secondary compounds that come in contact with the atmosphere. The continuous inhalation of these hazardous substances triggers many diseases such respiratory and cardiovascular disease, systemic inflammation, and neurodegeneration. Due to coal heterogeneity, it is extremely complex to establish all the effects of the molecules in the organism. Each cell can undergo different modifications depending on the stressing molecule. On that account, inhaling air contaminated with these particles can be highly dangerous and unpredictable. This review covers the impact of coal inhalation on the lungs, immune system, heart, reproductive system, brain, DNA, and, in general, the human health. For this review, Medline and Scopus databases were accessed, including human epidemiological, review studies, and coal characterization studies over the years. Coal as an energy source must be utilized with appropriate measures of environmental protection and to safeguard human health.

La desconexión digital en el ámbito laboral como herramienta para promoción de la seguridad y la salud del trabajador
...
Guzmán Larrarte, Ibis Del Carmen | 2021

The use of information technologies, although they represent great advantages for companies in terms of productivity, can also mean disadvantages for the health of the worker (stress, fatigue, postural hygiene and exhaustion), by not forcing themselves to use them only during business hours. By having mobile devices on hand, with access to email accounts and business chats, it is more likely that they will be given answers to work requirements at times that under normal circumstances they should be using to share with the family or carry out extracurricular activities. The existing legislation on digital disconnection or minimum guarantees for this in Colombia are not directly related to the safety and health of its employees, but rather focus on the regulation of working hours and aspects such as salary, being a matter of great importance, because many companies are not carrying out the corresponding verification of working and health conditions in the places where their worker is carrying out their remote activities, becoming a worrying issue at the level of mental and physical health.

Nanoparticles generated during volcanic rock exploitation: an overview
...
Gindri Ramos, Claudete | 2021

Nanoparticles (NPs) from the mining of volcanic rocks have been a matter of concern around the world because they can pose environmental and human health risks. The nanoparticles are pointed as opportunities of application in a large field of knowledge. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of scientific publications on the success rates of mineral nanoparticles, the use of soil remineralizers as an alternative for replacing highly soluble fertilizers and their potential risk to human health and the environment. Nanoparticles were successful used as a filter agent and may act as carrier agent of metals and molecules through the environment compartments; rock powder was used as a litho-fertilizer in nature or enriched with nutrients and pesticides for plant disease control. However, nanoparticles were also identified as particle promoting of human diseases. Finally, this work addresses nanoparticles derived from volcanic rock mining and highlights the relevance of developing cleaner procedures to minimize exposure to these materials and is therefore of direct relevance to both the volcanic rock mining and agriculture sector and health.

Portable dehumidifiers as an original matrix for the study of inhalable nanoparticles in school
...
Silva Oliveira, Luis Felipe | 2020-06-06

Good air quality is documented as a significant factor of social justice. The human health hazards associated with air pollution are not distributed equally across cities; the most vulnerable people are more exposed to ambient air as they commute to work and wait for buses or trains at the stations. Aerosols play important roles in atmosphere quality and the climate; their oxidation at the nanoscale level may possibly increase the reactivity and toxicity of atmospheric particulates. Indoor school environments are characterized by high concentrations of different airborne particulate and gaseous pollutants. The documentation of nanoparticles (NPs), ultra-fine particles (UFPs), and micron-size particle species present in indoor primary schools are an important aspect in the recognition of their influence in respirational difficulties and decreased cognitive progress in children. This work utilizes the study of condensed water, sampled with portable dehumidifiers (PD), to describe NPs and UFPs in the vapor stage of enclosed zones. The acquired extracts were analyzed by advanced electron microscopy techniques. A total of 392 NPs and 251 UFPs were examined in a set of 22 samples acquired in moderately limited or inadequately ventilated indoor areas from several schools. Noting that NPs-related disorders happen at particular places of respirational structure, identification of site-specific NPs accumulation should be anticipated in direction to better verify the corresponding human health outcomes resulting from respirable NPs.

The urban green spaces have been linked to the welfare of persons. Nevertheless, there is reduced data of how the characteristics of green spaces provide real benefits to people. Therefore, the object of the investigation here proposed was to explore the characteristics of urban green spaces, their equipment, and determine their relationship with the well-being perceived by users. For this purpose, a sample of 179 subjects, from 38 parks in Barranquilla, was selected. These subjects responded to a structured survey to determine their perception of issues related to using, spatial distribution, infrastructure, nature, health, quality of life, social relationships of cooperation, and trust. The results presented that there is a significant relationship between the usage patterns of visitors and the characteristics of urban parks, such as walking trails, lighting, graffiti, bio-healthy equipment, children's games, tree-covered security posts, the height of trees, green spaces, sound atmosphere, wildlife, the naturalness of the park, proliferation of fauna and flora, physical health, level of physical activity, cardio and sedentary lifestyle. Specifically, the variables: environment, infrastructure, and usage are related positively to the welfare of the users. All of this implies the perception of the park affects its use and provides different attributes in users' welfare.

Llanos Polo, Anyeris | 2020

The use of herbicides such as glyphosate has increased and at the same time general concern about the increased associated risks. Further, the Environmental Protection Agency-USEPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer-IARC have discussed the possible association between glyphosate exposure and cancer in farmers reporting different results. Thus, the objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the risk of cancer in farmers occupationally exposed to glyphosate. Cohort studies, case controls and systematic reviews were included, whose population was farmers exposed to glyphosate, and with a medical diagnosis of cancer. In total, 313 potential studies were identified, of which only 6 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed a higher risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (OR 0.39; 95% CI = 0.35-0.41; Z = 31.37 and p<0.00001), and multiple myeloma (OR 0.04; 95% CI = 0.03-0.05; Z = 30.27 p <0.00001) in exposed farmers compared to farmers not exposed. These results are the basis for future studies on the potential carcinogenic effect in farmers who are exposed to glyphosate on a daily basis. Further, our results seek to contribute to establish safety and health standards for the protection of agricultural workers.
