    Abstract Glass has emerged as a highly versatile substrate for various sensor and MEMS packaging applications, including electromechanical, thermal, optical, biomedical, and RF devices, due to its exceptional properties such as high geometrical tolerances, outstanding heat and chemical resistance, excellent high-frequency electrical properties, and the ability to be hermetically sealed. In these applications, Through Glass Via (TGV) technology plays a vital role in manufacturing and packaging by creating electrical interconnections through glass substrates. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of the research progress in TGV fabrication along with its integrations, including through via formation and metallization. This paper also reviews the significant qualification and reliability achievements obtained by the scientific community for TGV technology. Additionally, this paper summarizes the application of TGV technology in various sensors such as MEMS sensors and discusses the potential applications and future development directions of TGV technology.

    Abstract In this study, we simulated the actual landfill disposal process using accelerated carbonization experiments, based on the leaching characteristics of heavy metals from "alkaline" fly ash, and used the LandSim-HELP coupling model to assess the environmental risk of the leaching. The results showed that the leaching data of "alkaline" fly ash before carbonization showed the illusion of admission to landfill with only a small amount of chemical addition or even without curing/stabilization. The leached concentrations of Zn and Cd from "alkaline" fly ash after carbonation were significantly higher. The risk assessment of the leakage of heavy metals in the case of a single artificial composite liner system showed that the exposure concentrations of Pb, Zn, and Cd in samples exceeded Standard for groundwater quality (GB/T 14848-2017) the Class III permissible limits after carbonation; exposure risk for Cd was exceeded in all samples. However, although the use of a double-layer artificial composite liner to improve the level of impermeability effectively reduced the risk of Cd leaching, so that none of the non-carcinogenic risks exceeded the standard, the carcinogenic risk of Cd in the carbonized samples exceeded the factor of 1.1-4.5 of the acceptable hazard quotient, and the contamination characteristics of the alkaline fly ash still need to be kept in view.

    Abstract Exposure to wildfire smoke has been linked with a range of health outcomes. However, to date, evidence is limited for the association between wildfire-specific PM₂.₅, a primary emission of wildfire smoke, and adverse birth outcomes. We aimed to estimate the risk and burden of preterm birth/term low birth weight, associated with maternal exposure to wildfire-specific PM₂.₅. A total of 330,884 birth records with maternal information were collected from the New South Wales Australia from 2015 to 2019, covering 523 residential communities. Daily wildfire-specific PM₂.₅ at a 0.25° × 0.25° (≈ 25 km × 25 km) resolution was estimated by a machine learning method combining 3-D chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) and reanalysis meteorological data. Cox proportional hazards models were implemented to evaluate the association between wildfire-specific PM₂.₅ and preterm birth/term low birth weight. Number and fraction of preterm birth/term low birth weight attributable to wildfire-specific PM₂.₅ during pregnancy were calculated. Per one interquartile-range rise in wildfire-specific PM₂.₅ was found to be associated with 6.9% (HR: 1.069, 95% CI: 1.058–1.081) increased risk of preterm birth and 3.6% (HR: 1.036, 95% CI: 1.014–1.058) higher risk of term low birth weight. The most susceptible gestational window was the 2nd trimester for preterm birth whereas the 1st for term low birth weight. We estimated that 14.30% preterm births and 8.04% term low birth weight cases were attributable to maternal exposure to wildfire-specific PM₂.₅ during the whole pregnancy. Male infants and mothers aged ≥ 40, experiencing temperature extremes or living in the inner region, and concepted during spring had higher risks of preterm birth/term low birth weight associated with wildfire-specific PM₂.₅. Comparatively, mothers with advanced age have a higher risk of preterm birth while younger mothers were more likely to deliver term newborns with low birth weight, when being exposed to wildfire-specific PM₂.₅. Pregnancy-induced hypertension enhanced the risk of preterm birth associated with wildfire-specific PM₂.₅. This study strengthened robust evidence on the enhanced risk of preterm birth/term low birth weight associated with maternal exposure to wildfire-specific PM₂.₅. In light of higher frequency and intensity of wildfire occurrences globally, more special attention should be paid to pregnant women by policy makers.

    Abstract The intensity and frequency of wildfires is increasing globally. The systematic review of the current evidence on long-term impacts of non-occupational wildfire exposure on human health has not been performed yet. To provide a systematic review and identify potential knowledge gaps in the current evidence of long-term impacts of non-occupational exposure to wildfire smoke and/or wildfire impacts on human health. We conducted a systematic search of the literature via MEDLINE, Embase and Scopus from the database inception to July 05, 2022. References from the included studies and relevant reviews were also considered. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and a validated quality assessment framework were used to evaluate the quality of observational studies. Study results were synthesized descriptively. A total of 36 studies were included in our systematic review. Most studies were from developed countries (11 in Australia, 9 in Canada, 7 in the United States). Studies predominantly focused on mental health (21 studies, 58.33%), while evidence on long-term impacts of wildfire exposure on health outcomes other than mental health is limited. Current evidence indicated that long-term impacts of non-occupational wildfire exposure were associated with mortality (COVID-19 mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality and acute myocardial disease mortality), morbidity (mainly respiratory diseases), mental health disorders (mainly posttraumatic stress disorder), shorter height of children, reduced lung function and poorer general health status. However, no significant associations were observed for long-term impacts of wildfire exposure on child mortality and respiratory hospitalizations. The population-based high-quality evidence with quantitative analysis on this topic is still limited. Future well-designed studies considering extensive wildfire smoke air pollutants (e.g., particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen oxides) and estimating risk coefficient values for extensive health outcomes (e.g., mortality, morbidity) are warranted to fill current knowledge gaps.

    Abstract High concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) have been frequently reported in public transit systems and can cause adverse health effect. The portable air purifier is an inexpensive solution that could potentially clean in-cabin PM₂.₅. This study aims to find the PM₂.₅ removal efficiency of portable air purifiers in a public transit bus. In various scenarios, after artificially preloading the in-cabin PM₂.₅ concentration to 400 μg/m³, the concentrations were measured every 10 s, with and without the intervention of air purifiers. In a test bus with a volume of approximately 62.5 m³, three portable air purifiers were capable of reducing the average concentration of PM₂.₅ by 42–74%, from 400 μg/m³, to levels below 15 μg/m³, the acceptable short-term exposure concentration recommended by WHO. When high concentrations of outdoor PM₂.₅ entered the bus, purifiers maintained a relatively low level of in-cabin PM₂.₅. Air purifiers were more effective in reducing in-cabin PM₂.₅ than traditional air filtration and ventilation methods (air conditioning system filtration and door opening) in public transit buses. The deployed air purifiers reduced the concentration of particulate matter inside the bus, which may reduce the health risk of PM₂.₅ exposure and the spreading of airborne infections in public transit, thus, implying the potential to enhance passengers' and drivers’ health.

    Abstract Human beings and society are experiencing substantial consequences caused by non-optimum temperatures. However, limited studies have assessed the economic burden of premature deaths attributable to non-optimum temperatures. To characterize the association between daily mean temperature and the economic burden of premature deaths. A total of 3 228 098 deaths were identified from a national mortality dataset in Italy during 2015 and 2019. We used the value of statistical life to quantify the economic losses of premature death. A two-stage time-series analysis was performed to evaluate the economic losses of premature deaths associated with non-optimum temperatures. Attributable burden for non-optimum temperatures compared with minimum risk temperature were estimated. Potential effect modifiers were further explored. From 2015 to 2019, the economic loss of premature deaths due to non-optimum temperatures was $525.52 billion (95% CI: $461.84–$580.80 billion), with the attributable fraction of 5.74% (95% CI: 5.04%–6.34%). Attributable economic burden was largely due to moderate cold temperatures ($309.54 billion, 95% CI: $249.49–$357.34 billion). A higher economic burden was observed for people above the age of 65, accounting for 75.97% ($452.42, 95%CI: $406.97–$488.76 billion) of the total economic burden. In particular, higher fractions attributable to heat temperatures were observed for provinces with the lowest level of GDP per capita but the highest level of urbanization. This study shows a considerable economic burden of premature deaths attributed to non-optimum temperatures. These figures can help inform tailored prevention to tackle the large economic burden imposed by non-optimum temperatures.

    Abstract The health effects of the unprecedented bushfires in Australia in 2019–20 have not been fully examined. We aimed to examine the excess emergency department (ED) visits related to the 2019–20 bushfires in New South Wales (NSW). We obtained weekly data of ED visits for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases in all the 28 Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) regions in NSW during the bushfire seasons from 2017 to 2020. A two-stage interrupted time-series analysis was applied to quantify the excess risk for ED visits in 2019–20. The total number of excess ED visits, excess percentages, and their empirical confidence intervals (eCIs) were calculated to estimate the impacts of the bushfire season. A total of 416,057 records of cardiorespiratory ED visits were included in our analysis. The bushfire season in 2019–20 was significantly associated with a 6.0% increase (95% eCI: 1.9, 10.3) in ED visits for respiratory diseases and a 10.0% increase (95% eCI: 5.0, 15.2) for cardiovascular diseases, corresponding to 6177 (95% eCI: 1989, 10,166) and 3120 (95% eCI: 1628, 4544) excess ED visits, respectively. The percentage of excess ED visits was higher in regions with lower SES and high fire density. In the context of climate change, more targeted strategies should be developed to prevent adverse bushfire effects and recover from such extreme environmental events.
