This paper examines the extent to which inequalities in noise exposure are present in the city of Birmingham in the English midlands. Estimates of road and rail noise levels were made using established sound propagation models and were combined with data on noise generated from the city’s airport. Demographic details from the 1991 UK Census provided information on population age, ethic makeup, ...

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 ...

asbestos applications were limited during past two decades in developed nations due to its debilitating health problems, while in developing countries it’s various usages continues. the main goals of present study were evaluation of asbestos concentrations in ambient outdoor and indoor air and occupational exposure, as well as exposure effects on pulmonary function. sampling procedure was ca...

The main challenge in wireless networks is to optimally use the confined radio resources to support data transfer. This holds for large-scale deployments as well as for small-scale test environments such as test-beds. We investigate two approaches to reduce the radio traffic in a test-bed, namely, filtering of unnecessary data and aggregation of redundant data. Both strategies exploit the fact ...

conclusions the world health organization (who) has suggested relatively relaxed limits of 100 cfu/m3 for bacteria and 50 cfu/m3 for fungi in the hospital air. therefore, quantitative and qualitative outcomes of this study demonstrate that contamination level and bacterial variety in surgery rooms and emergency departments is high and effective measures must be taken to control the possible hea...
