Emphysema prevalence related air pollution caused by a cement plant

Emphysema prevalence related air pollution caused by a cement plant

BACKGROUND To identify adverse pulmonary health effects due to air pollution derived from a cement plant in Korea. The emphysema prevalence in residents around a cement plant was compared to that in the group who live far away from the plant by chest films (PA and lateral view) and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) lung images. METHODS From June to August in 2013 and from August to N...

The Role of SPOT Satellite Images in Mapping Air Pollution Caused by Cement Factories

Environmental analysis and monitoring of pollution are important tasks in Egypt and all over the world. In this study, temporal SPOT satellite multispectral images were used for locating the horizontal dispersion of air pollution caused by a cement factory that was constructed near Assiut City in Egypt. Two different working conditions of the factory were analyzed. In the first one (1995), with...

Noise pollution analysis in Tehran cement plant

  Background : Cement industry has many process units. Basically all of these units can be considered as a source of noise. Since noise pollution is defined based on its offensive hearing effects, the importance of the noise sources depends directly on the number of workers in the unit.   Materials and Methods : An experimental study has been done at Tehran cement factory to recogn...
