As a result of anthropogenic climate change, an alteration in the air mixture has occurred over time. These changes have increased human exposures to respiratory irritants such as ground-level ozone, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Regarding aeroallergens, studies have shown that elevated temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels have produced prolonged and more robust pollen seasons for most taxa studied.

This review highlights the widespread prevalence of exposure to certain phthalates used in industrial practices, sheds light on exposure trends over time, and identifies significant gaps in biomonitoring data across various regions, particularly in areas with limited research infrastructure.

In this systematic review, the authors found that studies that centre Indigenous-led and community-based prevention programs that value self-determination, community agency and autonomy to advance holistic health and wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples offer promise in the elimination of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heard disease.

African young women, a key population in HIV that represent a growing share of people living with HIV worldwide, but adherence to HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) reamains low in this population. Differenciated PrEP-adherence support strategies to avoid HIV acquisition are a fundamental to curve new HIV acquisitions in women.
Trees on farms are an important source of micronutrient-rich foods, yet their contributions to people’s diets remain poorly quantified. Using data collected in rural Malawi, this study shows how different uses of on-farm trees for food, income, and fuelwood are positively associated with women’s micronutrient adequacy.
