متن کاملAir Pollution and the Smell of Cut Grass
Recently we have demonstrated that grass and cut grass are important sources of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions into the atmosphere. The production of these VOCs can be traced back to plant growth, maintenance and wound defence mechanisms. The gases emitted as part of these wound defence mechanisms are responsible for the smell of freshly cut grass, and are also highly photochemically...
متن کاملDoes Air Pollution Respond to Petroleum Price?
Taiwan has implemented a floating oil-price mechanism since 2007, which is aimed at connecting the domestic oil price with the international oil price. Given that the consumers’ behavior may change once the price truly responds to its cost and the air quality may consequently be improved, this study investigates the effect of oil price on the concentration of 7 air pollutants, taking the adopti...
متن کاملGreen Walls Could Cut Street-Canyon Air Pollution
Rows of tall buildings can create a unique urban habitat known as a street canyon. These canyons trap traffic pollutants, limiting their dispersal into the atmospheric boundary layer that extends as high as 2,000 meters above the ground. A new study suggests that vegetation in street canyons may reduce air-pollutant concentrations much more than previously reported and suggests innovative plant...
