  • Microplastic and nanoplastic pollution and associated potential disease risks

    Open Access•Nurshad Ali, Jenny Katsouli et al.•ARTICLE•The Lancet Planetary Health•2025•References: 2

    Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging pollutants widely dispersed in the environment, with humans primarily exposed through ingestion and inhalation. Although their biological effects are being increasingly studied, their potential effect on human health and disease risk remains uncertain. This Review summarises evidence on potential disease risks of human exposure to MNPs, while highlighting key limitations and research gaps. Eviden…

  • Prevalence and risk factors of general and abdominal obesity and hypertension in rural and urban residents in Bangladesh

    Open Access•Nurshad Ali, Nayan Chandra Mohanto et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2022

    This study shows a high prevalence of obesity and hypertension in rural and urban adults. Increased age, inadequate physical activity and place of residence were significant determinants of general and abdominal obesity and hypertension. A comprehensive intervention program focusing on modifiable risk factors such as lifestyles and food habits is needed to increase awareness and prevent the burden of obesity and hypertension in the Bangladeshi po…

  • Awareness, Experience, and Knowledge of Farming Households in Rural Bangladesh Regarding Mold Contamination of Food Crops

    Open Access•Nicholas N A Kyei, Jillian Waid et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Aside from specific environmental conditions, poor agricultural practices contribute to mold and thus the mycotoxin contamination of crops. This study investigated Bangladeshi farming households' (i) awareness of and experience with mold contamination of food crops; (ii) knowledge and awareness of the timing, causes, and consequences of mold and mycotoxin contamination; and (iii) knowledge of the recommended agricultural practices for controlling…

  • The Effects of Air Pollution on Covid-19 Infection and Mortality—A Review on Recent Evidence

    Open Access•Nurshad Ali, Farjana Islam•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2020

    The outbreak of COVID-19 has created a serious public health concern worldwide. Although, most of the regions around the globe have been affected by COVID-19 infections; some regions are more badly affected in terms of infections and fatality rates than others. The exact reasons for such variations are not clear yet. This review discussed the possible effects of air pollution on COVID-19 infections and mortality based on some recent evidence. The…

  • Women's Knowledge, Attitude, and Perceptions Toward Covid-19 in Lower-Middle-Income Countries

    Open Access•Saeed Anwar, Yusha Araf et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2020

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global health emergency of unprecedented proportions. Countries around the world have taken extraordinary steps to control the disease. The preventive measures face challenges in low and lower middle income countries (LICs and LMICs). Especially the marginalized communities, e.g., women are the hardest hit of the virus. This study took Bangladesh as a representative LMIC and aimed to determine the leve…

  • Hypertension prevalence and influence of basal metabolic rate on blood pressure among adult students in Bangladesh

    Open Access•Nurshad Ali, Shakil Mahmood et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2017

    This study reports the prevalence and associated risk factors of hypertension in the Bangladeshi adult students. The study also showed a positive association between BMR and blood pressure among the participants. A large scale longitudinal study across the country is needed to find out the underlying causes of hypertension in the Bangladeshi adults. In addition, comprehensive and integrated intervention programs focusing on modifiable risk factor…
