Dispersion models require as input various geometrical parameters to calculate the flow field and dispersion characteristics in the urban environment. As a result of recent advances in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing, databases of the actual 3-D geometry of city centre areas are now increasingly available. In this work we outline a procedure to reduce this large amount of data to a st...

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...

The following article contains information about modeling of pollutants dispersion systems in the atmosphere. It also describes main types of pollutants, emission points and analysis of typical atmosphere pollutant dispersion models. It shows a way of using computer cluster systems in modeling process and proper programming libraries for parallel computing. Finally it presents a possibility of ...

Previous studies suggest that pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of air pollution. A prospective cohort study in pregnant women and their children enables identification of the specific effects and critical periods. This paper describes the design of air pollution exposure assessment for participants of the Generation R Study, a population-based prosp...

India has evolved as self reliance country at all forefronts. Demand for energy is on rise due to the robust development of sectors like Automobile, Chemical, Information Technology and ITES in most part of the metropolitan states in India. There is a great deficit on energy particularly with supply chain management in Tamil Nadu. Government is exploring new ways of harnessing clean and green e...
