In the paper, we present the methodology of construction and interpretation of the models, which consider effects of air pollution, and also their applications. The study of air-pollution health effects is a very important component in estimating health risk of air pollution and improving environmental quality. On other hand, such study is very complicated because of complexity of factors invol...

There are numerous indicators that Hispanics face a disproportionate risk of exposure to environmental hazards. Ambient air pollution, worker exposure to chemicals, indoor air pollution, and drinking water quality are among the top four threats to human health and are all areas in which indicators point to elevated risk for Hispanic populations. These data, juxtaposed with data on the health st...

Air pollution is among the environmental problems that adversely affect people's health. There is a close relationship between medicine and environment, and as a consequence, there are ethical considerations surrounding the problem of air pollution. The present research aimed to determine physicians' attitude toward their ethical responsibility regarding air pollution, and their role in reducin...

This conclusion is being drawn by many non-scientists who simply observe daily atmospheric conditions: more hot days exist in many areas of California and many...

Urban air pollution is an important environmental factor that is effecting a large portion of urban dwellers in developing economies. Due to the limitations of dose and impact nature, direct measurement of negative implications of urban air pollution is difficult and WHO has developed indirect methods such as Environmental Burden of Disease. However, in this study to measure the economic costs ...

Environmental pollution is reaching worrying proportions worldwide. Urbanization and industrialization along with economic development have led to increase in energy consumption and waste discharges. The global environmental pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions and acid deposition, as well as water pollution and waste management is considered as international public health problems, wh...

BACKGROUND Chile has recently been reclassified by the World Bank from an upper-middle-income country to a high-income country. There has been great progress in the last 20 to 30 years in relation to air and water pollution in Chile. Yet after 25 years of unrestrained growth, there remain clear challenges posed by air and water pollution, as well as climate change. OBJECTIVE The aim of this s...

achieving to sustainable development requires high attention to environmental problems so in this head line, examining the relation between economic growth and environment quality gives us an outlook of optimum economic development. for this purpose, different development programs were investigated. variables used in this model were propagation co2 per capita (as a proxy of pollution ), gdp per...
