Nitrate and ammonium concentration in wet deposition detrimentally impacted a sensitive pollution indicator species irrespective of the nitrogen dose.

The influence of roofing material on concentrations of pollutants in roof runoff waters and changes of pollution concentration in time were investigated. In field studies four roofing material types were taken into consideration: ceramic tile, bituminous membrane, asbestos tile, and zinc sheeting. Samples were collected from November 2007 to March 2008. Anions, cations, metals, PAHs, pesticides...

Air pollution is one of the major threats to environment in the present time. Increase in degree of urbanization is a major cause of this air pollution. Due to urbanization, vehicular activities are continuously increasing at a tremendous rate. Mobile or vehicular pollution is predominantly degrading the air quality worldwide. Thus, air quality management is necessary for dealing with this seve...

The presence of biological particles and non-biological pollutants in the atmosphere is closely related to the incidence of adverse reactions affecting human health. The present study demonstrates different effects of ambient air pollution and meteorological factors on pollen concentration of selected taxa in the atmosphere. The investigation was carried out in Szczecin, Poland, between 2006 an...

back ground and purpose: air pollution in cities thorough the world, is a complex mixture of poisonous compounds which are always combustion products particulate matters (pm) are instant member of this mixture. despite wide spectrum health effects of pm, effects on death seem to be the most important one. the main purpose of this study was to estimate number of cardio pulmonary death in adults ...
