background: air pollution has been a serious public health threat worldwide. it has been linked to pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases but is also believed to contribute to air-pollution-mediated cardiometabolic disease such as diabetes. we investigated the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (dm2) and air pollution in densely developed urban settings in south korea, using national ...

Road dust and vehicle exhaust are the main sources of air pollution in cities, especially in recent years with the quantity of vehicles and transportation construction continuously soaring; the hazy weather has been a dominant urban pollution form which is widely concerned by the Chinese society. By establishing a relationship model between traffic and land use, then applying analytic hierarchy...

the wide availability of data on air pollutant emissions, the knowledge already achieved on theset of chemical and photochemical reactions in the troposphere, the ability to access real time weatherconditions at the local scale that determine the transport and transformation of gases and aerosol, now make it possible to obtain credible and reliable predictions, retrospective analyses and/or fut...

BACKGROUND In Nigeria, approximately 69% of households use solid fuels as their primary source of domestic energy for cooking. These fuels produce high levels of indoor air pollution. This study aimed to determine whether Nigerian children residing in households using solid fuels at <5 years of age were at higher risk of death. METHODS The 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey data were ...

1. introduction: increasing urbanization and industrialization rate in developed and developing countries cities, such as tehran, has led to increased air pollution. todays, the prediction and estimation of air quality parameters in urban regions are important topics in environmental studies due to their effect on human health. measurement of air quality are widely used in air quality control p...

conclusions pine trees can be used as a worthy bio-indicator for hms pollution monitoring in the ambient air in areas with extensive vegetation of pine trees. results iron had the highest concentration (345.0053 mg/kg) in leaves when compared with other hms. the concentration of zn, cu, pb and cd were 26.1384, 5.5905, 2.9963 and 0.7383 mg/kg, respectively. spatial mapping indicated that industr...
