Indoor air pollution, specifically restricted in its meaning to chemicals in home indoor air environment, presents a new and probably an important challenge to the researchers of the air pollution field. The general overview of this topic suggests that the voluminous data generated in the past ten or so years have only defined the rudiments of the problem, and significant areas of research stil...

BACKGROUND Exposure to fine-particulate air pollution has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality, suggesting that sustained reductions in pollution exposure should result in improved life expectancy. This study directly evaluated the changes in life expectancy associated with differential changes in fine particulate air pollution that occurred in the United States during the 198...

Urban air pollution is one of the major environmental problems faced by the developing countries. Studies in large Indian cities revealed that ambient air pollution concentrations are at such levels where it can cause serious health impacts. Lucknow, a fast growing city is not an exception to this. Researchers from the city have studied various aspects of air pollution during the last one and h...

aims: tehran’s uncontrolled expansion, which promoted housing, public utilities, industries and increase of vehicles caused the problem of air pollution. necessary information about air quality in different places and different times is the first step of combating the air pollution. the purpose of this study was to investigate the annual, monthly and hourly average of 5 criteria air pollutants ...

Air pollution concentrations in urban areas vary in both time and space (Munn, 1981). Time variations are strongly influenced by changes in human activities. Several activities occur repeatedly at regular intervals thus producing cycles in air pollution changes, like daily variations in CO concentration due to the change in traffic density or seasonal variations in air pollution (e.g., from hea...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Many studies have shown the adverse effects of air pollution on respiratory health, but few have examined the effects of air pollution on service utilisation in the primary care setting. The aim of this study was to examine the association between air pollution and the daily number of consultations due to upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) in general outpatient...

Using mathematical simulation, distribution of concentration of harmful substances NOx at Rustavely Avenue, the crossroad of David Agmashenebeli and King Tamar Avenue, where traffic is congested, and for the whole territory adjoined to the crossroad have been studied. In addition, there have been investigated influences of traffic-lights at streets' intersections on the growth of concentration ...
