Mobile Air Quality Studies (MAQS)-an international project
Due to an increasing awareness of the potential hazardousness of air pollutants, new laws, rules and guidelines have recently been implemented globally. In this respect, numerous studies have addressed traffic-related exposure to particulate matter using stationary technology so far. By contrast, only few studies used the advanced technology of mobile exposure analysis. The Mobile Air Quality S...
متن کاملHEI's mobile air toxics project.
A recent report of the Health Effects Institute (HEI), Research Priorities for Mobile Air Toxics (1), provides information on research capable of narrowing uncertainties related to health effects of specific mobile-source air pollutants. The report, developed at a workshop in Monterey, California, 4-6 December 1992, provides research recommendations for four mobilesource toxic air pollutants sp...
متن کاملMobile air quality studies (MAQS) in inner cities: particulate matter PM10 levels related to different vehicle driving modes and integration of data into a geographical information program
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Particulate matter (PM) is assumed to exert a major burden on public health. Most studies that address levels of PM use stationary measure systems. By contrast, only few studies measure PM concentrations under mobile conditions to analyze individual exposure situations. METHODS By combining spatial-temporal analysis with a novel vehicle-mounted sensor system, the pres...
متن کاملParticipatory Patterns in an International Air Quality Monitoring Initiative
The issue of sustainability is at the top of the political and societal agenda, being considered of extreme importance and urgency. Human individual action impacts the environment both locally (e.g., local air/water quality, noise disturbance) and globally (e.g., climate change, resource use). Urban environments represent a crucial example, with an increasing realization that the most effective...
متن کاملCache Valley Air Quality Studies
The Cache Valley airshed is in serious threat of exceeding the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for Particulate Matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM 2.5). Although the local airshed approaches both the annual (15 µg m-3) and the 24-hr standard (65 µg m-3), it is the 24-hr standard that is in the greatest danger of exceedance. As of June 2006, the regulatory allowable 98 th ...
