The quality of roadside soil along the NH3 highway of high traffic density at MorenaM.P. was studied during 2010-11 at 12 different locations. The roadside soil was found to be highly contaminated. This is evident from the modification of the soil pH, Electrical conductance, Water holding capacity and other Physico-chemical properties when compared to natural soil. The presence of heavy metals ...

This study presents the development and evaluation of a next generation air monitoring system with both laboratory and field tests. A multi-parameter algorithm was used to correct for the impact of environmental conditions on the electrochemical sensors for carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollutants. The field evaluation in an urban roadside environment in comparison to designat...

Concentrations of ambient particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pPAHs) were measured in PM10 samples collected at roadside, industrial and urban background sites Bangkok between May 2013 2014. The annual average concentrations not significantly different the roadside (56.4 ± 27.3 µg m−3) (51.0 31.1 sites. lowest mean was observed site (39.8 22.2 m−3). Seasonal variations pPAHs thr...

stimates of the health effects of air pollution are alarming , with up to 7 million attributable deaths worldwide each year. Although the pulmonary effects of air pollution are widely recognized, it is only in the last few decades that the adverse cardiovascular effects of air pollution have become apparent. Exposures to diesel exhaust, a prominent source of urban air pollution and a pollutant ...

the effect of automobile pollution was determined on chlorophyll content of four different tree species viz. azadirachta indica l., conocarpus erectus l., guiacum officinale l.and eucalyptus sp. growing along the roads of the city.  significant changes in the level of chlorophyll “a”, chlorophyll “b” and total chlorophyll “a+b” were found in the leaves of four tree species (a. indica, c. erectu...

Roadside units in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks are essential for acting as base stations that facilitate information spreading to vehicular users in the roads. Typically, vehicular nodes search for an infrastructure within their vicinity to fulfill the requested services such as internet accessing or content file handling. Due to the essentiality of the presence of roadsides as well as the high co...

The effect of automobile pollution was determined on chlorophyll content of four different tree species viz. Azadirachta indica L., Conocarpus erectus L., Guiacum officinale L.and Eucalyptus sp. growing along the roads of the city.  Significant changes in the level of chlorophyll “a”, chlorophyll “b” and total chlorophyll “a+b” were found in the leaves of fou...

Urbanization has resulted in high temperatures cities, which are exacerbated by an increase urban impervious surfaces (road space). This study investigated the effect of road characteristics on roadside temperature. Different temperature indices were measured at four sites Seoul with different designs using weather measuring devices and infrared thermal cameras. The differences between air decr...
