Residential and Local Sources of Air Pollution
Since the early 1970s, environmental agencies have focussed most of their attention on large point sources and transport sources of air pollutants. The myriad of small sources scattered throughout suburban Australia, such as people’s heating appliances, lawnmowers and suburban restaurants, have received little attention. Perhaps this is simply because they are so dispersed or they may have been...
متن کاملMercury pollution in vegetables, grains and soils from areas surrounding coal-fired power plants
Mercury contamination in food can pose serious health risks to consumers and coal-fired power plants have been identified as the major source of mercury emissions. To assess the current state of mercury pollution in food crops grown near coal-fired power plants, we measured the total mercury concentration in vegetables and grain crops collected from farms located near two coal-fired power plant...
متن کاملResidential outdoor air pollution and lung function in schoolchildren.
BACKGROUND Long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution has typically been estimated on the aggregate level, and more individual measures of exposure are needed. We investigated the associations with lung function of residential outdoor air pollution in early life, total lifetime, and days before lung function test. METHODS In 2001-2002, spirometry was performed in 2307 9- and 10-year-old chil...
متن کاملThe Impact of Winter Heating on Air Pollution in China
Fossil-fuel combustion related winter heating has become a major air quality and public health concern in northern China recently. We analyzed the impact of winter heating on aerosol loadings over China using the MODIS-Aqua Collection 6 aerosol product from 2004-2012. Absolute humidity (AH) and planetary boundary layer height (PBL) -adjusted aerosol optical depth (AOD*) was constructed to refle...
متن کاملParticle-phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ambient air of rural residential areas in southern Germany
An important source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in residential areas, particularly in the winter season, is the burning process when wood is used for domestic heating. The target of this study was to investigate the particle-phase PAH composition of ambient samples in order to assess the influence of wood combustion on air quality in residential areas. PM(10) samples (particulate...
