The long-term health effects of air pollution can be estimated using a spatio-temporal ecological study, where the disease data are counts of hospital admissions from populations in small areal units at yearly intervals. Spatially representative pollution concentrations for each areal unit are typically estimated by applying Kriging to data from a sparse monitoring network, or by computing aver...

Urban meteorology and pollution are characterised by a number of atmospheric parameters and their evolution in time, which all have specific problems as to their monitoring, representativeness, parameterisation and modelling compared to rural situations. The main goal of the Action COST-715 (1998-2004) was to provide the best guidance on how meteorology may be included in pollution calculations...

openair is an R package primarily developed for the analysis of air pollution measurement data but which is also of more general use in the atmospheric sciences. The package consists of many tools for importing and manipulating data, and undertaking a wide range of analyses to enhance understanding of air pollution data. In this paper we consider the development of the package with the purpose ...

Urban areas confront with increases in air pollution because of increasing urbanization, expanding the use of vehicles and development of economic activities. In this research carbon monoxide concentration as a pollutant analyzed and modeled within highways in Tehran. In this regards factors affecting the concentration of atmospheric pollutants analyzed on the basis of geometric, atmospheric an...

Skin, as a protective organ of the body, is subject to many factors from within the body and from the outside environment that constantly challenge its integrity and protective functions. Diverse factors such as ultraviolet light (UV), atmospheric pollution, increased atmospheric ozone, wounds, infections, hormonal status, metabolic diseases, psychological stress and the natural process of agin...
