In this paper, we present an intuitive authoring tool for gamebased city tours and a rendering app for these tours on iOS. This way...

Benzene is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant and an important industrial chemical present in both gasoline and motor vehicle emissions. Occupational human exposure to benzene occurs in the petrochemical and petroleum refining industries as well as in gas-station workers, where it can lead to benzene poisoning (BP), but the mechanisms of BP are not completely understood. In Brazil, a signific...

OBJECTIVE A study was conducted to evaluate personal ozone exposure (O3p) among asthmatic children residing in Mexico City. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 158 children were recruited from December 1998 to April 2000. On average, three O3p measurements were obtained per child using passive badges. Time-activity patterns were recorded in a diary. Daily ambient ozone measurements (O3a) were obt...
