Annual Variations of Spring Aerosol Events Observed by Sun Photometers from 1998 to 2002 over Japan

Hospital-based survey of pesticide poisoning in Japan, 1998--2002.

Data concerning clinical cases of pesticide poisoning from 1998 to 2002 from the hospitals affiliated with the Japanese Association of Rural Medicine were analyzed. 346 cases of poisoning by agricultural chemicals were reported from 65 hospitals. Suicides accounted for 70% of pesticide poisoning cases, followed by accidental exposures during spraying work (16%) and accidental ingestion (8%). Th...

Tropospheric ozone climatology over Irene , South Africa , from 1990 to 1994 and 1998 to 2002

[1] Ozonesonde measurements over Irene in South Africa are reported for the period 1990 to 1994 and a more recent period, 1998 to 2002, when the station became part of the Southern Hemisphere Additional Ozonesondes (SHADOZ) network. Irene displays the characteristic Southern Hemisphere springtime tropospheric ozone maximum, but its seasonal features are modulated by both tropical and midlatitud...

Aerosol optical depth (AOD) and Ångström exponent of aerosols observed by the Chinese Sun Hazemeter Network

[1] To reduce uncertainties in the quantitative assessment of aerosol effects on regional climate and environmental changes, extensive measurements of aerosol optical properties were made with handheld Sun photometers in the Chinese Sun Hazemeter Network (CSHNET) starting in August 2004. Regional characteristics of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 500 nm and Ångström exponent (a) computed usi...
