Today, air pollution has emerged as a global public health problem and is identified as a major environmental health hazard by agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and governments around the world. An increase in concentration of pollutants both gaseous and solid is among the largest health risk in the world and according to the latest data released by WHO, indoor and outdoor ai...

air pollution in large cities is very important from health and economic points of views. in a city, air pollution has direct relationship with the topography, climate, population, economic situation and the degree of industrialization. therefore, for a survey about kerman's air pollution, 13 stations were chosen for determination of so2, no2 and co, and 14 stations to assess concentration of s...

This study investigates the effects of compact urban development on air pollution, taking into account both the spatial distribution of pollutants resulting from an increase in inner urban densities and the dispersion of pollutants associated with an increase in outer green open spaces. The empirical analysis is based upon a panel data model covering 17 cities in Korea from 1996–2009; this appr...

introduction: air pollution is one of the problems of the recent century caused by vehicles, industries and other urban activities. the city of yazd faces air pollution due to its high population, vehicular traffic and industrial places around the city. one of the important parameters of air pollution is suspended air particles that have harmful effects on the health of people, plants and objec...

Statistical data analysis on toxicity for air pollution problems is studied for the atmosphere with the various pollutant’s observations. In this paper Kriging techniques are explained for pollutant concentration, also forecast by Kriging methods. Approximate function called as system function is obtained by these techniques. An approach is mentioned for calculating weights for the given data. ...

The pattern of economic growth that we are adopting is increasingly associated with environmental pollution. It is clear that in the developing or developed countries increased mechanization, transportation, populations, etc. causes air pollution which is a major and effective environmental problem. Present study focuses on analysis of air pollution in Kannur city of Kerala. In this study, pred...

BACKGROUND Air pollution has become a substantial environmental issue affecting human health and health-related behavior in China. Physical activity is widely accepted as a method to promote health and well-being and is potentially influenced by air pollution. Previous population-based studies have focused on the impact of air pollution on physical activity in the U.S. using a cross-sectional s...

conclusions atpl was higher in the post-monsoon season. w/s ratio and correlation analysis revealed interseasonal homogeneity of tmv and traffic noise levels and interseasonal heterogeneity of air pollutant concentrations and atpl in the city microenvironments. results atpl was 3.35 times higher in the post-monsoon and 1.83 times higher in the pre-monsoon season than the permissible limits pres...

This paper presents the …rst study of environmental inequality related to health in France at the national scale. Through an econometric analysis based on a panel data from 2000 to 2004 at a department level, we investigate total mortality rate in relation to socioeconomic status and air pollution. Concentration level of CO, SO2, NO2, NO, O3 and PM10 are estimated by spatial interpolation from ...
