متن کاملUrban Air Pollution Modeling
All life form on this planet depends on clean air. Air quality not only affects human health but also components of environment such as water, soil, and forests, which are the vital resources for human development. Urbanization is a process of relative growth in a country’s urban population accompanied by an even faster increase in the economic, political, and cultural importance of cities rela...
متن کاملAssessment of Effects of Air Pollution on Daily Outpatient Visits using the Air Quality Index
BACKGROUND The air quality index (AQI) is widely used to characterize the quality of ambient air. Chinese cities officially report the AQI on a daily basis. To assess the possible effects of air pollution on daily outpatient visits, we examined the association between AQI and the daily outpatient count. METHODS Daily data on outpatient visits to each clinical department were collected from th...
