As a huge threat to the public health, China's air pollution has attracted extensive attention and continues to grow in tandem with the economy. Although the real-time air quality report can be utilized to update our knowledge on air quality, questions about how pollutants evolve across time and how pollutants are spatially correlated still remain a puzzle. In view of this point, we adopt the P...

1. The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution has delivered demonstrable improvements in reducing acidification of the environment, in reducing the highest peak levels of ozone and photochemical smog, and has begun to make improvements in atmospheric levels and deposition of nitrogen — one of the most important global environmental problems in addition to climate change. The Conve...

The National Research Council has pointed out that more ways need to be explored to link scientific research effectively with policy and environmental decision-making. One approach would be to promote interdisciplinary efforts designed to give science graduate students an opportunity to work in a collaborative effort, such as with economists and political scientists, to fulfill a project situat...

Air pollution is a significant problem in cities across the world. It affects human health and well-being, ecosystem health, crops, climate, visibility and human-made materials. Health effects related to air pollution include its impact on the pulmonary, cardiac, vascular and neurological systems (Section 2). Trees affect air quality through a number of means (Section 3) and can be used to impr...

OBJECTIVE To explore how three different assumptions on demographics affect the health impact of Danish emitted air pollution in Denmark from 2005 to 2030, with health impact modeled from 2005 to 2050. METHODS Modeled air pollution from Danish sources was used as exposure in a newly developed health impact assessment model, which models four major diseases and mortality causes in addition to ...

This article reviews the literature on health effects of air pollution, with a primary focus on time series studies but also covering prospective studies and case-crossover designs. It also covers some of the controversies created by these studies and concludes with a brief review of air pollution standards in the U.S.

OBJECTIVES Good ventilation is more important in hospitals than in many other buildings. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the condition, performance and modernity of ventilation systems on the perceived indoor air quality (IAQ) and the indoor air-related symptoms of hospital personnel. MATERIALS AND METHODS An inspection and evaluation graded on a 1 to 3 scale of the ...

The rapid economic development and motorization in the last three decades in Beijing has resulted in the deterioration of Beijing’s air quality. Since 1998, the Beijing municipal government has made a great effort to improve Beijing’s air quality, resulting in significant progress in reducing air pollution in Beijing. However, the air quality is still below the international health standard, es...
