Atmospheric contamination has deteriorated the health of plants and animals all over the globe. In particular, pollutants such as benzene(C6H6) has accelerated the rate of cancer among human beings. Therefore, accurate evaluation of the pollutant in the atmosphere is necessary by traffic supervision in urban areas. To reduce atmospheric contamination, an effective mobile strategy planning must ...

Dust in pig con"nement buildings may create negative health e!ects on humans as well as on the animals. Measures to reduce the dust concentration in the air are therefore urgent. The mass balance of dust as well as the e$ciency of di!erent dust-reducing measures have been investigated and analysed. The investigations have shown that the generation of dust is a!ected by activity, number of pigs ...

The assimilation potential (assimilative capacity) of the atmosphere can be represented in two ways: one as the ventilation coefficient and the other as the dispersion potential of emission loads discharged into the region. In the present study, the atmospheric assimilation potential of a typical urban area in Kochi city has been determined with respect to sulfur dioxide (SO(2)). The ventilatio...

BACKGROUND Although the dispersion model approach has been used in some epidemiologic studies to examine health effects of traffic-specific air pollution, no study has evaluated the model predictions vigorously. METHODS We evaluated total and traffic-specific particulate matter < 10 and < 2.5 microm in aero-dynamic diameter (PM(10), PM(2.5)), nitrogren dioxide, and nitrogen oxide concentratio...

The Aral Sea Basin is considered as a region with increased rates of atmospheric air pollution by aerosols of arid origin. It is conditioned by the aridity of the climate and the presence of a great number of natural sources of aerosols emission to the atmosphere. The average annual number of days with dust storms varies from 20 to 67, while the maximum reaches up to 108-146 days with dust stor...

introductionair pollution is the introduction of particulates, biological molecules, or other harmful materials into the earth&apos;s atmosphere, possibly causing disease, death to humans, damage to other living organisms such as food crops, or the natural or built environment. the atmosphere is a complex natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet earth. stratospheric oz...

Mathematical air pollution modeling represents an essential tool to control and predict atmospheric pollution. In this paper, a multiple cell model for the three-dimensional simulation of pollutants (SO2, CO, NOx, and TH) dispersion from a network of industrial stacks is presented. The model verification was conducted by checking the simulation results for a single stack against experimental da...

the aim of this research paper is the introduction of a novel mathematical approach to improvethe accuracy of the results of air pollution dispersion models based on the calibration of input backgroundconcentrations. using the dunkirk area of the city of nottingham in the uk as a case study, an air pollutionmodel in adms-roads was created for developing the mathematical approach. the iterative ...

Two commonly used models to assess air pollution concentration for investigating health effects of air pollution in epidemiological studies are Land Use Regression (LUR) models and Dispersion and Chemistry Transport Models (DCTM). Both modeling approaches have been applied in the Ruhr area, Germany, a location where multiple cohort studies are being conducted. Application of these different mod...

Waterborne pathogens from faecal pollution continue to be major contributors to outbreaks of infectious disease in many areas around the world. While developed countries have made much progress in municipal wastewater treatment and management of agricultural wastes, faecal contamination of source waters for drinking, recreation and rearing of shellfish still contributes to outbreaks of infectio...
