An approach to represent a combined exposure to air pollution.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to present a technique for estimating the effect of ambient air pollution mix on health outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS We created a technique of indexing air pollution mix as a cause of the increased odds of health problems. As an illustrative example, we analyzed the impact of pollution on the frequency of emergency department (ED) visits due to col...
متن کاملA rights-based approach to indoor air pollution.
Household indoor air pollution from open-fire cookstoves remains a public health and environmental hazard which impacts negatively on people's right to health. Technologically improved cookstoves designed to reduce air pollution have demonstrated their efficacy in laboratory studies. Despite the tremendous need for such stoves, in the field they have often failed to be effective, with low rates...
متن کاملAir pollution and thrombosis: an experimental approach.
Air pollution is associated with cardiovascular mortality. Inhaled ultrafine particles translocate into the blood. Amine-polystyrene ultrafine particles significantly enhance experimental thrombus formation in a damaged hamster vessel and shorten the closure time in the Platelet Function Analyser. Diesel exhaust particles are thrombogenic within one hour of intratracheal instillation and shorte...
متن کاملThe Regional Air Pollution Information and Simulation (RAINS) model
Anthropogenic activities such as energy consumption, industrial activities and agriculture are major driving forces of emissions of air pollutants. Their future development has a strong influence on the level of future emissions and on the potential and costs for maintaining emissions at environmentally acceptable levels. Unfortunately, it is an ambitious task to accurately model the future dev...
متن کاملAir Pollution and its Control Measures
Air pollution are basically the foreign material in the air—can be manmade or occur naturally, and are concentrated where people are concentrated. Pollution is injurious to health and its prevention places an economic burden on the citizen. Further emission reductions from automobiles, and transportation measures and programs will be more difficult to accomplish, but the challenge has been pres...
