Schumacher, AE; Kyu, HH; Aali, A; Abbafati, C; Abbas, J; Abbasgholizadeh, R; Abbasi, MA; Abbasian, M; Abd ElHafeez, S; Abdelmasseh, M; Abd Elsalam, SBackground: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides n...
BTEX in Ambient Air of India: a Scoping Review of their Concentrations, Sources...
Tamrakar, A; Pervez, S; Verma, M; Majumdar, D; Pervez, YF; Candeias, C; Dugga, P; Mishra, A; Verma, SR; Deb, MK; Shrivas, K; Satnami, ML; Karbhal, IToxic gaseous organic air pollutants such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers (m, p, and o-x) (BTEX) are considered hazardous due to its adverse impacts on human health and on climate change. This review identifies the major research questions addressed so far and the research gap in research articles, published between 2001 and 2022, focusing on the ambient BTEX concentrations in different lo...
Bioaccessiblity features of particulate bound toxic elements: Review of extract...
Mishra, A; Pervez, S; Candeias, C; Verma, M; Bano, S; Dugga, P; Verma, SR; Tamrakar, A; Shafi, S; Pervez, YF; Gupta, VFor a better and accurate risk assessment of metal toxicity, the concentration of the bioaccessible fraction (BAF) is more relevant than the total metal concentration. This review describes different extraction methods with different leaching agents for various chemical forms of elements such as As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn in ambient particulate matter (APM). Several leaching agents simulating the hum...
Anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countr...
Kinyoki, D; Osgood-Zimmerman, AE; Bhattacharjee, NV; Schaeffer, LE; Lazzar-Atwood, A; Lu, D; Ewald, SB; Donkers, KM; Letourneau, ID; Collison, MAnemia is a globally widespread condition in women and is associated with reduced economic productivity and increased mortality worldwide. Here we map annual 2000–2018 geospatial estimates of anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age (15–49 years) across 82 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), stratify anemia by severity and aggregate results to policy-relevant administrative and national levels. Addi...
