title: Defects characterisation and studies of structural properties of sol–gel synthesised MgFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanocrystals through positron annihilation and supportive spectroscopic methods

description: Magnesium ferrite (MgFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) nanocrystalline samples were prepared by sol–gel method and by sintering at temperatures from 300°C to 1000°C. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopic studies showed an increase in crystallite sizes and a decrease in lattice constants at higher sintering temperatures. UV-Vis absorption measurements depicted blue shift for samples of smaller crystallite sizes (<i>d</i><sub>c</sub>) with a resultant increase of the band gap energies (<i>E<sub>g</sub></i>. = 2.07 eV at <i>d</i><sub>c</sub> = 49 nm to 3.10 eV at <i>d</i><sub>c</sub> = 6 nm, for samples sintered at 1000°C and 300°C, respectively). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the samples proved the formation of the spinel structure while energy dispersive X-ray analysis pointed out the non-stoichiometric composition, which implied the presence of vacancy type defects that could modify the structural and magnetic characteristics of the compounds. This necessitated the use of positron annihilation lifetime and coincidence Doppler broadening spectroscopic studies for defect characterisation and the results indicated distinct redistribution of cations within the unit cells, making the compound overwhelmingly turn towards a normal spinel configuration at smaller nanocrystalline sizes. Positrons were trapped in larger vacancies of increasing numbers in smaller crystallites. The vacancies turned out to be formed at the octahedral sites where the increased ionic radius of Fe<sup>3+</sup> became large enough to reduce the occupancy significantly. Mossbauer spectra analysis indicated an increase of the ferromagnetic properties in samples sintered at higher temperatures. At 300°C and 400°C, the samples dominantly showed paramagnetic behaviour.

title: <i>In vitro</i> toxicity assessment of emitted materials collected during the manufacture of water pipe plastic linings

description: <b>Objectives:</b> US water infrastructure is in need of widespread repair due to age-related deterioration. Currently, the cured-in-place (CIPP) procedure is the most common method for water pipe repair. This method involves the on-site manufacture of a new polymer composite plastic liner within the damaged pipe. The CIPP process can release materials resulting in occupational and public health concerns. To understand hazards associated with CIPP-related emission exposures, an <i>in vitro</i> toxicity assessment was performed. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Mouse alveolar epithelial and alveolar macrophage cell lines and condensates collected at 3 worksites utilizing styrene-based resins were utilized for evaluations. All condensate samples were normalized based on the major emission component, styrene. Further, a styrene-only exposure group was used as a control to determine mixture related toxicity. <b>Results:</b> Cytotoxicity differences were observed between worksite samples, with the CIPP worksite 4 sample inducing the most cell death. A proteomic evaluation was performed, which demonstrated styrene-, worksite-, and cell-specific alterations. This examination of protein expression changes determined potential biomarkers of exposure including transglutaminase 2, advillin, collagen type 1, perilipin-2, and others. Pathway analysis of exposure-induced proteomic alterations identified MYC and p53 to be regulators of cellular responses. Protein changes were also related to pathways involved in cell damage, immune response, and cancer. <b>Conclusions:</b> Together these findings demonstrate potential risks associated with the CIPP procedure as well as variations between worksites regarding emissions and toxicity. Our evaluation identified biological pathways that require a future evaluation and also demonstrates that exposure assessment of CIPP worksites should examine multiple chemical components beyond styrene, as many cellular responses were styrene-independent.

title: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes activate and shift polarization of pulmonary macrophages and dendritic cells in an <i>in vivo</i> model of chronic obstructive lung disease

description: With substantial progress of nanotechnology, there is rising concern about possible adverse health effects related to inhalation of nanomaterials, such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). In particular, individuals with chronic respiratory disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), may potentially be more susceptible to adverse health effects related to inhaled MWCNT. Hazard assessment of such inhaled nanomaterials therefore requires timely clarification. This was assessed in this study using a mouse model of COPD by exposing animals to 0.08 µg/cm<sup>2</sup> of MWCNT administered by intratracheal instillation. Treatment with MWCNT induced an accumulation of alveolar macrophages (AMφ) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in COPD mice that increased from 24 h to 7 d. In COPD mice, MWCNT induced a dynamic shift in macrophage polarization as measured by expression of CD38 and CD206, and increased AMφ and lung parenchyma macrophage (LPMΦ) activation with upregulation of co-stimulatory markers CD40 and CD80. Moreover, MWCNT treatment increased the frequencies of pulmonary dendritic cells (DC), leading to an expansion of the CD11b<sup>+</sup>CD103<sup>−</sup> DC subset. Although MWCNT did not trigger lung functional or structural changes, they induced an increased expression of the muc5AC transcript in mice with COPD. Our data provide initial evidence that inhaled MWCNT affect the pulmonary mucosal immune system by altering the numbers, phenotype, and activation status of antigen-presenting cell populations. Extrapolating these <i>in vivo</i> mouse findings to human pulmonary MWCNT exposure, caution is warranted in limiting exposure when handling inhalable nanofibers.

title: Supplementary information files for 'Process evaluation of a tailored workplace intervention designed to promote sustainable working in a rapidly changing world'

description: Supplementary information files for Process evaluation of a tailored workplace intervention designed to promote sustainable working in a rapidly changing world'<br>Abstract:Increasing numbers of people are employed in sedentary occupations, spending large amounts of time sitting at work which is detrimental to health and wellbeing. Evidence-based guidance is required to intervene to reduce sedentary behaviour, encourage physical activity and promote sustainable working. This article presents a process evaluation of a successful workplace intervention Walking Works Wonders, shown to be effective in improving health, job satisfaction and motivation (Haslam et al. 2018). In this qualitative process evaluation employees reported an increased awareness of their sedentary time and they particularly valued the monitoring of activity using pedometers. They described changes to their working and leisure time activity to accumulate more steps. Participants reported improved physiological and psychological health outcomes, improved working relations with colleagues, changes in dietary behaviour and involving their families in physical activity. The results highlight elements of the intervention that encouraged healthy and more sustainable working practices. Practitioner summary: This study provides the employees’ perspective on the effective elements of a workplace intervention which encouraged physical activity and reduced sitting time. The results offer valuable insights for practitioners aiming to develop interventions to improve health and facilitate more sustainable working practices in a rapidly changing world of work.<br>

title: Supplementary information files for 'Synergies in the Co-location of Food Manufacturing and Biorefining'

description: Supplementary information files for 'Synergies in the Co-location of Food Manufacturing and Biorefining'<br>Abstract:In food and drink manufacturing, costs must be relentlessly minimised because margins for most products are low. At the same time, the business case for biorefining of lignocellulosic feedstocks has been positive in only a small number of cases. Since the two industries use similar feedstocks and processing equipment, there should be potential for significant sharing of resources for economic and environmental gain, particularly with regard to energy, if they were co-located. This paper reviews the nature, issues and opportunities for this sort of resource sharing between food industries and biorefineries. It then illustrates the opportunity by modelling a food product (coffee bean roasting) co-located with lignocellulosic biorefining of its downstream by-product (spent coffee grounds) where biofuels are not the target output, identifying and evaluating the resource efficiencies and economics involved. The analysis shows that there can be significant benefits, but that the exact nature of the food and biorefinery products and the biorefining pathways are the key dependencies. Further research should produce a comprehensive league table of co-location opportunities for the benefit of both industries to enhance both their economics and their sustainability metrics through well-targeted synergies.<br>
