background: air pollution is one of the most important factors threatening the health of citizens. it increases the prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as emergency admissions to hospitals in the polluted metropolitan cities. the present study was conducted using air quality (airq) model and aimed to investigate the effects of air pollution on the number of emergency c...

The serious environmental problems caused by decades of Communist mismanagement of natural resources in countries of Central and Eastern Europe have been brought to light in recent years. All environmental media, including air, water, food, and soil have been burdened with toxic chemicals. Large segments of the population have been, and are now being exposed to air pollution levels exceeding gu...

Internet under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD with the aim of bringing information on this subject to the attention of a wider audience. Executive summary This review of the environmental effects of freight is structured by transport mode, addressing shipping, air cargo, trucking, rail, pipelines and intermodal terminals. It begins with a brief overview of the major env...

An air pollutant is known as a substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment. Pollutants can be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases. In addition, they may be natural or man-made. Pollutants can be classified as either primary or secondary. Air pollution, both indoors and outdoors, is a major environmental health problem affecting everyone in develo...

Air pollution is one of the world’s most serious environmental problems. Air pollutants continue to be major contributing factors to chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma), cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. We conducted a systematic literature review to provide some insight into what we currently know about the health problems associated with ...

Centuries ago miasma (from mı́asma, the ancient Greek word for pollution) was considered to be a poisonous vapour filled with particles from decomposed matter. The miasmatic theory held that diseases such as cholera or the Black Death were caused by a noxious form of ‘‘bad air’’, also known as ‘‘night air’’, emanating from rotting organic matter [1]. In those days, breathing was considered to be...

Nowadays, air pollution is one of the major problems in developed and developing countries. In recent years, effects of air pollution on neuroinflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease have been studied. Researches on polluted cities citizens indicate increasing in central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory factors in comparison with clean cities; also air pollution ex...

The European Community Green Paper on Future Noise Policy (1996) recognised that environmental noise is “one of the main local environmental problems in Europe” but that it has had a lower priority than other environmental problems, such as air or water pollution. It also recognised that, despite significant reductions in the noise produced by individual sources, total exposure to environmental...

Environmental air pollution studies fail to consider the fact that air pollution is a spatio-temporal problem. The volume and complexity of the data have created the need to explore various machine learning models, however, those models have advantages and disadvantages when applied to regional air pollution analysis, furthermore, most environmental problems are global distribution problems. Th...

air pollution is a major concern of new civilized world, which has a serious toxicological impact on human health and the environment. it has a number of different emission sources, but motor vehicles and industrial processes contribute the major part of air pollution.according to the world health organization, six major air pollutants include particle pollution, ground?level ozone, carbon mono...
