The strategy for controlling the existence of radionuclides in drinking water depends upon an individual dose criterion (IDC) of 0.1 mSv/y, which represents a very low level of risk that is not expected to cause any identified adverse health effects. Radon gas, considered a carcinogenic radionuclide, can dissolve and accumulate in drinking water. Non-alcoholic carbonated beverages (NACBs), which mainly contain drinking water, phosphoric acid, citric acid, caffeine, and sugar, represent one of the most consumed groups worldwide and in Türkiye...

Satellite-based exposure of fine particulate matters has been seldom used as a predictor of mortality. PM2.5 was predicted using Aerosol Optical Depths (AOD) through a two-stage regression model. The predicted PM2.5 was corrected for the bias using two approaches. We estimated the impact by two different scenarios of PM2.5 in the model. We statistically found different distributions of the predicted PM2.5 over the region. Compared to the reference value (5 µg/m3 ), 90th and 95th percentiles had significant adverse effect on total mortality (RR 90th percentile :1...

The deleterious impact of lead (Pb) pollution on human health is evident in both domestic and occupational settings, provoking an inflammatory response across multiple tissue, limited attention has been devoted to its adverse effects on colitis and the underlying mechanisms. Peiminine (PMI) has been recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties, yet its specific anti-inflammatory effects in lead-induced colitis models remain elusive. Through the establishment of both in vivo and in vitro lead exposure models, suggests that lead exposure can induce colitis and that PMI regulates lead exposure-induced colitis by inhibiting the NF-kB signaling pathway, and alleviates the ability of lead to apoptosis and inflammation levels in intestinal epithelial cells...

The relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and lifestyle choices during the COVID-19 pandemic is obscure and not very well understood. To clarify the mechanisms underlying this relationship, we proposed to test the hypothesis that different coping styles (avoidant and approach) have an indirect effect on the association between EI and many types of lifestyle habits. A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2020 and January 2021. Our target sample consisted of Lebanese adults from the general population...
