T he main purpose of this paper is to investigate and compare the impact of tourism on air pollution in selected developed and developing countries during the period of 1995-2014. To this end, at first, the model was designed based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) assumptions and with the presence of the major influencing factors on air pollution along with the international ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between air, noise, light and landscape pollution on job stress of staff work in high schools of different districts (1, 2, 10 and 11) of tehran. this stress can reduce the efficiency of the personnel. the number of people participated in this research was 250, selected by random from different schools of the districts. the questionnair...

Air pollution modelling is necessary for simulating the atmospheric environment system in terms of pollutants and meteorological conditions, taking into account the nonlinearities of the underlying phenomena. In the current paper, Artificial Neural Networks are used for modelling ozone, and for simulating its behaviour in relation to other atmospheric parameters of interest, for the city of The...

OBJECTIVES Air pollution contributes to mortality and morbidity. We estimated the impact of outdoor air pollution on public health in Seoul metropolitan area, Korea. Attributable cases of morbidity and mortality were estimated. METHODS Epidemiology-based exposure-response functions for a 10 μg/m3 increase in particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) were used to quantify the effects of air pollutio...

Particulate pollution has important consequences for human health, and is an issue of global concern. Outdoor air pollution has become a cause for alarm in India in particular because recent data suggest that ambient pollution levels in Indian cities are some of the highest in the world. We study the number of particles between 0.5μm and 2.5μm indoors while using affordable air purifiers in the...

The Australia–Taiwan Joint Symposium on Environmental Modelling took place between 28 and 30 June 2000 in Tunghai University, Taiwan. The objectives of the symposium were to bring together a selection of Australian and Taiwan research organisations to present their latest research findings and to initiate collaboration between Australian and Taiwan scientists on environmental modelling, softwar...

abstract background and purpose:recent perspectives on public understandings of global environmental risk have emphasized the interpretation, judgment and sense-making “that takes place, modes of perception that are inextricably tied to aspects of and local” context. the main interest of this study is to observe the socio-demographic (gender, age, and education) differences in awareness of poll...

In recent years, severe and persistent air pollution episodes in China have drawn wide public concern. Based on ground monitoring air quality data collected in 2015 in Chinese cities above the prefectural level, this study identifies the spatiotemporal variations of air pollution and its associated driving factors in China using descriptive statistics and geographical detector methods. The resu...

OBJECTIVE To explore various contributors to people's reporting of self reported air pollution problems in area of living, including GIS-modeled air pollution, and to investigate whether those with respiratory or other chronic diseases tend to over-report air pollution problems, compared to healthy people. METHODS Cross-sectional data from the Oslo Health Study (2000-2001) were linked with GI...

Nowadays many studies are conducted to develop solutions for improving the performance of urban traffic networks. One of the main challenges is the necessary cooperation among different entities such as vehicles or infrastructure systems and exploit the information available through networks of sensors deployed as infrastructures for smart cities. In this work an algorithm for cooperative contr...
