Emission Scenarios and Health Impacts of Air Pollutants in Goa

Indoor Air Pollutants: Relevant Aspects and Health Impacts

During the last three decades, many efforts have been made to protect populations from harmful exposure to outdoor pollutants. Networks of air monitoring stations have been located in strategic places and these provide information on the outdoor pollutant concentrations to which populations are exposed. However, people spend about 80-90% of their time in various indoor ambiences (i.e. homes, of...

Health and Cellular Impacts of Air Pollutants: From Cytoprotection to Cytotoxicity

Air pollution as one of the ravages of our modern societies is primarily linked to urban centers, industrial activities, or road traffic. These atmospheric pollutants have been incriminated in deleterious health effects by numerous epidemiological and in vitro studies. Environmental air pollutants are a heterogeneous mixture of particles suspended into a liquid and gaseous phase which trigger t...

Criteria air pollutants and toxic air pollutants.

This review presents a brief overview of the health effects and exposures of two criteria pollutants--ozone and particulate matter--and two toxic air pollutants--benzene and formaldehyde. These pollutants were selected from the six criteria pollutants and from the 189 toxic air pollutants on the basis of their prevalence in the United States, their physicochemical behavior, and the magnitude of...

Health Impacts of the Urban Climate and Air Quality under Two Different IPCC Scenarios

The objective of this research is to quantify the future (2030, 2050 and 2100) short-term health effects of the global climate over five European Cities: Madrid, Antwerp, Milan, Helsinki and London with very high spatial resolution (200 meters) respect to the present (2011) under two IPCC climate projections RCP 4.5 (stabilization emission scenario) and RCP 8,5 (increase emission scenario).
