Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAutomobile Spray Paint Dust and Human Health: A Multi-Site Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Effects in South-Eastern NigeriaAdindu Ihuoma Blossom, Ubouh Emmanuel Attah, Obasi Kalu Omokorie, Raimi Morufu OlalekanInformal automobile spray-painting operations release metal-laden dust, posing occupational and residential health risks. Seasonal variations, receptor-specific exposure, and metal composition influence non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards, yet data from South-Eastern Nigeria remain limited. This study quantified heavy-metal exposure in automobile spray-paint dust, assessed receptor-specific non-carcinogenic (HI) and carcinogenic (ILCR) risks, examined seasonal and metal-specific trends, and evaluated source attribution to inform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,555 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Health Risk of Formaldehyde to Human BeingsS. Norliana, A. S. Abdulamir, F. Abu Bakar, A. B. SallehProblem statement: Formaldehyde was classified as a potential human carcinogen, identified by the US Environmental Protection Agency and International Agency for Research on Cancer as a Class 2A carcinogen. It also can cause irritation to human. However, formaldehyde present in biological fluids or tissues and environment as a result of natural processes or from man-made sources and can be emitted … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 15,273 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDeep Sense: Deep Learning for Early Staging the Onset of Diabetes Emanating Recognition of Activity PatternsMohammed Shamsul Alam, Erfanul Hoque Bahadur, Md Fokrul Islam Khan et al.This study presents a comprehensive framework for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using smartphone sensor data, with a specific focus on identifying activities associated with diabetic risk factors. We investigate the efficacy of two deep learning architectures (Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs)) for activity recognition under conditions of limited training data. To address data scarcity, we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 15 Dec 2025 · 2,268 accessesView PDF Cite

Faruque Hossain, ASM Maksud Kamal, Abdul Halim Farhad Sikder, Zakia ParveenAn investigation was conducted to assess the air quality impact and possible health risk of solid waste disposal on surrounding environment of Matuail landfill site in Dhaka city. Three different locations were selected for soil and plant samples. Leachate samples were collected from active dumping area and fish samples from treated leachate pond. Seven different locations were selected for air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2019 · 8,348 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing Community Health Risks: Proactive Vs Reactive SamplingSarah Taylor, Chelsea Papadopoulos, Sarah Vieillet, Peter Di MarcoProblem statement: A considerable number of native birds died in the West Australian coastal town of Esperance and surroundings during late 2006 and early 2007, which raised community concerns about environmental contamination. Forensic investigations of dead birds suggested that lead may have been the causative agent. At the time, lead and nickel, as well as iron ore and other materials, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,840 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteriological Assessment of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Subjected to Low-Temperature StorageRomán Alejandro Téllez-Cortez, Ángel Ruyan García-Hurtado, Mayra Diaz-Ramírez et al.Fish is a food with high nutritional value and an essential part of the human diet. However, this food is highly perishable and poses a health risk when contaminated along the food chain, requiring preservation processes at low temperatures.
