چکیده

in many industrialized areas, the highest concentration of particulate matter, as a major concern on public health, is being felt worldwide problem. since the air pollution assessment and its evaluation with considering spatial dispersion analysis because of various factors are complex, in this paper, gis-based modeling approach was utilized to zoning pm2.5 dispersion over tehran, during one year, from 21 march 2014 to 20 march 2015. the rbf method was applied to obtain the zoning maps and determining the highest concentration of pm2.5 in the 22 tehran’s regions for each season. the rmsemin values according to the number of neighbors and types of functions in the radial basis function method, including completely regularized spline, spline with tension, multiquadric function, inverse multiquadric function, and thin-plate spline  for each month have been assessed. by performing analysis on the errors, the numbers of neighbors were estimated. the numbers of neighbors in the model for each function were varied from 2 to 30. the results indicate that the models with 3 and 4 neighbors have the best performance with the lowest rmse values with using rbf method. the highest pm2.5 concentrations have been occurred in the summer and winter especially at the center, south, and in some cases at northeast of the city.

GIS-Based Estimation of Exposure to Particulate Matter and NO2 in an Urban Area: Stochastic versus Dispersion Modeling

Stochastic modeling was used to predict nitrogen dioxide and fine particles [particles collected with an upper 50% cut point of 2.5 microm aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5)] levels at 1,669 addresses of the participants of two ongoing birth cohort studies conducted in Munich, Germany. Alternatively, the Gaussian multisource dispersion model IMMIS(net/em) was used to estimate the annual mean values f...

Exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution among children under five years old in urban area

Indoor air pollution associated with cooking and heating biomass fuel burning is estimated to be responsible for 7 million deaths in 2016 and most of these deaths occur in low and middle income countries. In Côte d'Ivoire, 73% of the population is reported using biomass (charcoal or wood) for cooking. The active device 3M EVM-7 was used to measure PM2.5 daily average concentrations i...

Personal exposure to fine particulate air pollution while commuting: An examination of six transport modes on an urban arterial roadway

Traffic-related air pollution in urban areas contributes significantly to commuters' daily PM2.5 exposures, but varies widely depending on mode of commuting. To date, studies show conflicting results for PM2.5 exposures based on mode of commuting, and few studies compare multiple modes of transportation simultaneously along a common route, making inter-modal comparisons difficult. In this study...

Associations of fine and ultrafine particulate air pollution with stroke mortality in an area of low air pollution levels.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Daily variation in outdoor concentrations of inhalable particles (PM(10) <10 microm in diameter) has been associated with fatal and nonfatal stroke. Toxicological and epidemiological studies suggest that smaller, combustion-related particles are especially harmful. We therefore evaluated the effects of several particle measures including, for the first time to our knowled...

Levels of Fine Particulate Matter Bound Trace Metals in Air of Glass Industrial Area; Firozabad

The present study deals with sequential extraction of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) bound trace metals in an industrial area of Firozabad, India. During the study period, daily PM2.5 concentration ranged between 73.49 μg/m3 and 113.26 μg/m3 with poor air quality index of 196.37. In the present study, Ca recorded the highest while Co had the lowest concentration among all analysed metals. Mn, ...
