performance of kriging and ewpm for relative air pollution exposure risk assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
this study investigates the effectiveness of the kriging interpolation model and the emission weighted proximity model (ewpm) in assessing relative exposure risk of air pollution using results from the american meteorological society/epa regulatory model (aermod) as benchmarks. we used simulated exposure risk to so2 in the dallas area in texas in this evaluation. results suggest that the relative exposure risks to so2 at different locations in the study area as estimated by ewmp are closer to estimated risks from aermod when compared with the results calculated by kriging. in addition, study results also indicate that the relative exposure risks calculated by kriging are similar to those from aermod when the density of emission sources in the area in question is high. it is therefore concluded that relative exposure risks determined by both the kriging interpolation method and the ewpm are acceptable when it is not possible to use aermod. in situations when the density of emission sources is low in the study area, ewpm is a better choice than kriging.

چکیده هدف اصلی از طراحی لرزه ای تامین ایمنی جانی در هنگام وقوع زلزله و تعمیر پذیر بودن سازه خسارت دیده، پس از وقوع زلزله است. تجربه زلزله های اخیر نشان داده است که ساختمان های طراحی شده با آیین نامه های مبتنی بر نیرو از نظر محدود نمودن خسارت وارده بر سازه دقت لازم را ندارند. این امر سبب پیدایش نسل جدید آیین نامه های مبتنی بر عملکرد شده است. در این آیین نامه ها بر اساس تغییرشکل های غیرارتجاعی ...
15 صفحه اولAn Assessment of Air Pollution Exposure Information for Health Studies
Most studies of air pollution health effects are based on outdoor ambient exposures, mainly because of the availability of population-based data and the need to support emission control programs. However, there is also a large body of literature on indoor air quality that is more relevant to personal exposures. This assessment attempts to merge these two aspects of pollution-related health effe...

Data on the association between air pollution and risk of ischemic stroke in China are still limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and risk of ischemic strokes in Guangzhou, the most densely-populated city in south China, using a large-scale multicenter database of stroke hospital admissions. Daily counts of ischemic stroke...

Research into environmental factors associated with suicide has historically focused on meteorological variables. Recently, a heightened risk of suicide related to short-term exposure to airborne particulate matter was reported. Here, we examined the associations between short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide and completed suicide in Salt Lake County, Ut...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Dynamics in Air Pollution Exposure Assessment
Analyzing individual exposure in urban areas offers several challenges where both the individual's activities and air pollution levels demonstrate a large degree of spatial and temporal dynamics. This review article discusses the concepts, key elements, current developments in assessing personal exposure to urban air pollution (seventy-two studies reviewed) and respective advantages and disadva...
