the east mediterranean region suffers from high levels of air pollution which has a negative impact on pregnancy outcomes. this work systematically reviews the epidemiological evidence on maternal exposure to air pollution and adverse pregnancy outcomes in the region. relevant papers and reports published between 2000 and 2014 were searched. combinations of search terms including countries, exp...

A data-driven approach for modeling indoor-air-quality (IAQ) sensors used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is presented. The IAQ sensors considered in the paper measure three basic parameters, temperature, CO2, and relative humidity. Three models predicting values of IAQ parameters are built with various data mining algorithms. Four data mining algorithms have been t...

Although indoor air quality has been a topic of intense public health inquiry for many years, it's only been relatively recent that vapor intrusion has been recognized as a source of indoor air contaminants. Today researchers are searching for better ways to measure and control volatile chemicals that can enter buildings from the soil and groundwater beneath them.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a public and occupational health concern, as we are exposed to air pollutants daily given that spend great amount of our time in indoor environments. IAQ can be affected by numerous factors, from outdoor get indoors through ventilation building materials, furnishings, activities carried the occupants. Exposure has been linked panoply adverse effects on health, well-b...

The present study aims to analyze the existing indoor environmental conditions of Firozabad City along with its impact on people’s health by going through the correlative index of indoor environment’s determinant and different diseases, faced by the people. In order to measure spatial disparities, the statistical technique, i.e. the standard score additive model (Z- score), has been applied to ...
