The status, health risk and sources of street-dust-borne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in Marvdasht city. The total concentration of 15 PAHs ranged from 932.85 to 5030 μg kg-1 with a mean of 2185.7 μg kg-1. The PAHs contained 2-6 rings and the level of five carcinogenic PAHs generally accounted for 5-40% of total concentration. The statistical analysis and diagnostic ratios demonstrated that the main emission source of PAHs is traffic. The toxic equivalent concentrations (TEQs) of PAHs in street dust ranged from 12.91 to 1160.88 μg kg-1, with a mean of 257.18 μg kg-1. High correlation coefficients (r > 0.9, p < 0.01) between benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, indene and toxicity equivalent concentrations of street dust indicated that these PAHs are predominant contributors to TEQ. The results of total incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) demonstrated that Marvdasht's residents are potentially exposed to high cancer risk via dust ingestion and dermal contact.

Artisans in the informal automobile sector are involved in diverse occupational activities that could predispose them to health risks associated with lead exposure. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the risk of having high blood lead levels among the artisans. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and laboratory analysis. Sixty purposively sampled participants, 30 artisans and 30 age-matched control subjects, were assessed. Lead levels in blood samples were analysed using NIOSH method 8003 and data were analysed using SPSS version 22. The artisans had four times odds of having high blood lead levels compared to the control subjects (Odds ratio = 4.0; 95% CI = 1.37 - 11.70). The study concludes that the informal automobile repair workshops pose risks of high blood lead levels to the artisans. Therefore, there is a need for occupational health and safety monitoring and intervention programmes in the informal sector automobile industry to curb such health risks.
非正规汽车部门的工匠从事各种职业活动，可能使他们容易受到与铅接触有关的健康风险。进行了一项比较横断面研究，以评估工匠中高血铅水平的风险。数据收集采用结构化问卷调查和实验室分析。60名有意抽样的参与者，30名工匠和30名年龄匹配的对照受试者，进行了评估。采用NIOSH方法8003对血铅进行分析，数据采用SPSS 22进行分析。与对照组相比，工匠的血铅水平高的几率是对照组的四倍(优势比= 4.0;95% ci = 1.37 - 11.70)。该研究得出结论，非正式的汽车修理厂对工匠构成了高血铅水平的风险。因此，有必要在非正式部门汽车工业中实施职业健康和安全监测和干预方案，以遏制这种健康风险。

Notwithstanding that the soil acts as a pollutant sink, its Co sorption capacity presents still controversial results. Here, Co2+sorption on soil samples from La Plata (Argentina) was analysed. Four sorption indicators were used: Kdis (estimated from the entire sorption isotherm), KF1 (estimated from the lineal part of the sorption isotherm), Kdx, (solid-solution distribution coefficient) and Kr, a dimensionless parameter recently developed. Pearson correlation coefficients between the parameters and soil properties were calculated. Significant and negative correlations with silt were obtained, whereas significant and positive correlations were established with clay and smectite content. Soil clay fractions were isolated and Co2+ sorption was evaluated, observing relatively high removal. The correlations with kaolinite, magnetite and Mn and Fe oxides showed debatable results: Kdis could be more sensitive than Kr to magnetite variations whereas Kr seems to be more sensitive to Mn changes. KF1 presented similar behaviour to Kr. The studied soils presented a high Co2+ sorption capacity, making them an effective barrier of this pollutant, avoiding its passage to groundwater and crops.

An increase in the consumption of soft drinks has been observed in recent years. Flavoured mineral waters are often treated as an alternative to still mineral waters. The aim of our study was to determine the influence of sugar substitute solutions and flavoured mineral water drinks available in Poland on the enamel dissolution. The following parameters were determined: pH, titratable acidity and the concentration of phosphorus for flavoured mineral water. Solutions of xylitol, erythritol, stevia and glucose-fructose were tested to discover the impact of the sweeteners on exogenous erosion. Both flavoured mineral water and sweeteners tested in this study cause exogenous erosion of enamel according to the results of phosphorus released from hydroxyapatite. The erosive potential of the tested sugar substitutes concerned as beneficial for our health was similar to the glucose-fructose syrup.

Argentinean Humid Pampa topsoil samples from sites with different land use patterns were analysed. Texture was dominated by fines (silt+clay > 50%) with high total organic carbon content (2.8 ± 1.8%), particularly in finer soils (3.7-9.9% to 0.99% in sandy soils). Carbon:nitrogen relationship was relatively homogeneous (13.9 ± 3.6%) pointing to a dominant contribution of terrestrial plant detritus. Heavy metal concentrations were low (Fe: 1.77 ± 0.50%; Mn: 446 ± 171; Zn: 48.4 ± 19.5; Cu: 17.6 ± 6.0; Pb: 10.0 ± 4.8; Cr: 7.2 ± 1.8; Ni: 6.1 ± 1.7; Cd: 0.05 ± 0.03 µg g-1) and spatially homogeneous ( 0.05). Heavy metal enrichment factors were low (0.07-2.28) indicating a natural origin.

The present study assesses the outreach of Swachh Bharat Mission(SBM)1 plan, an integrative health plan, in the light of divergence across the states of India in terms of ranking of cities in the first survey conducted by the Quality Council of India (QCI) titled 'SwachhSarvekshan'. To assess the impact of socio-economic factors and geographical disparity on the implementation of the initiative, the study employed regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Cleanliness scores of cities were regressed on the set of independent variables namely population below poverty line, net state domestic product (NSDP), state allocation of fund for the health initiative and literacy rates as indicators of socio-economic status along with geographical region and political party ruling as intervening variables. Empirical results exhibit that the outreach of SBM plan was affected not only by the economic status of sub-national but also by the geographical location, and the literacy rate.

In organisational terms, conflict is not necessarily associated with negative feelings: if well-managed, in fact, it can play an irreplaceable role in people's and teams' development in terms of personal energy, commitment, engagement and creativity. Given this 'subjective' nature, the careful setting of an appropriate management style is a central point in ensuring health and wellbeing of the people within the team. Aiming to contribute in this direction and after an analysis around conflict and team management main issues, the paper focuses on team leaders' social intelligence as an unavoidable lever in moderating conflict and transforming it into an opportunity for pushing creativity and socio-organisational wellbeing.

The paper focuses on ethical purchase group (EPG) phenomenon as an alternative model of consumption (i.e., critical consumption), driven by care of community, wellbeing and social responsibility, where consumption itself is a language through which producers and consumers intertwine and exchange each other meanings, beliefs and values. Specifically, having underlined the social role of EPGs in orienting consumers choices, we aim to describe and give evidence of their capability to share knowledge and experiences among members in a virtuous process of mutual learning. Approaching the analysis from a historical perspective, thus, we frame ethical consumer behaviour as a coherent system of decisions inspired by sobriety, social equity and solidarity to offer a real, concrete alternative to consumerism and mass capitalism.

Although human resource management (HRM) research has established a significant relationship between leadership styles and different attitudinal outcomes, few studies have considered the important role of organisational facilitators as a more proximal outcome of servant leadership to explain happiness at work (HAW). This paper explores the relationships between servant leadership, organisational facilitators and HAW, based on the leader-member exchange (LMX) and job-demands resources (JD-R) theories. Individual-level analyses from a sample of 189 machine operators revealed that organisational facilitators fully mediate the relationship between servant leadership and HAW. The discussion reviews the implications of these results and suggests future research directions.

This paper aims to present how industrial archaeology may support knowledge transfer and social wellbeing development. An inductive approach is proposed. The research strategy includes a multiple case study of Italian industrial companies that have invested in industrial archaeology since 2000. The choice of companies is based on a strategy of theoretical sampling. The findings outline how it is possible to turn old places - often degraded and abandoned - in 'new' spaces for social meeting and cultural sharing by means of investments in industrial archaeology. Thanks to the mentioned changes both wellbeing and social inclusion are fostered with supporting the achieving of higher levels of social happiness. This paper discusses some Italian industrial companies that are investing in industrial archaeology to create value in a knowledge and social wellbeing development perspective in the 21st century.
