AbstractSolid fuel combustion exposure is a leading global health risk factor, yet evidence on its effects, especially on vulnerable children, is sparse. This large-scale, multi-center prospective study aimed to address this gap by involving 9997 schoolchildren across China between 2013 and 2015. Here we show that lung function levels exhibited a marginally significant decline among children exposed to solid fuel usage.

Although there is an association between income status and concentration of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), the association remains uncertain in patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and comorbidities. Data from the 2013–2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. A total of 2665 adults were included, and the data included participants' serum PFAS (perfluorooctanoic acid [PFOA], perfluorononaic acid, perfluorodecanoic acid, perfluoroundecanoic acid, perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid) levels and selected covariates. Multivariate linear regression models were used to examine the association between the ratio of family income to poverty (PIR) and individual serum PFAS concentrations in the hypertensive and/or hyperlipidemia groups after adjusting for covariates. The potential effects of sex and age on the results were explored using stratified analysis. A mediating effect model was used to explore the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference on the association results. After adjusting for potential confounders, for hyperlipidemia and comorbidities (hypertension and hyperlipidemia), serum levels of multiple common PFAS increased by 0.09% (95%Confidence interval [CI] 0.02–0.15%) to 0.13% (95%CI 0.08–0.19%) and 0.10% (95%CI 0.02–0.17%) to 0.12% (95%CI 0.06–0.18%), respectively, with each 1% increase in PIR. The covariate model and stratified analyses results suggested the potential effects of different covariates such as age and sex, leading to changes in the statistical significance of the association results. BMI significantly mediated the effect of PIR on PFOA in hyperlipidemia (13%, P < 0.001). Household income in adults with hyperlipidemia and comorbidities positively correlated with serum PFAS concentration in the United States. Obesity played an indispensable mediating role in the association between economic income and PFAS concentration.

AbstractLake surface temperatures are projected to increase under climate change, which could trigger shifts in the future distribution of thermally sensitive aquatic species. Of particular concern for lake ecosystems are when temperatures increase outside the range of natural variability, without analogue either today or in the past. However, our knowledge of when such no-analogue conditions will appear remains uncertain.
