Measurements in a highly polluted Asian mega city: observations of aerosol number size distribution, modal parameters and nucleation events
Diurnal variation of number size distribution (particle size 3–800 nm) and modal parameters (geometric standard deviation, geometric mean diameter and modal aerosol particle concentration) in a highly polluted urban environment was investigated during October and November 2002 in New Delhi, India. Continuous monitoring for more than two weeks with the time resolution of 10 min was conducted usi...
متن کاملTrace Metals Concentrations at the Atmosphere Particulate Matters in the Southeast Asian Mega City (Dhaka, Bangladesh)
Atmospheric particulate matters were collected on quartz fibre filters for 24 hours with a low volume sampler from January 2014 to March 2014 at the Southeast Asian mega city (Dhaka, Bangladesh). Particulate matters samples were analysed for eleven trace metals with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) at Cà Foscari University of Venice, Italy. Trace metals were extracted from ...
متن کاملAerosol optical properties in a rural environment near the mega-city Guangzhou, China: implications for regional air pollution, radiative forcing and remote sensing
The scattering and absorption of solar radiation by atmospheric aerosols is a key element of the Earth’s radiative energy balance and climate. The optical properties of aerosol particles are, however, highly variable and not well characterized, especially near newly emerging mega-cities. In this study, aerosol optical properties were measured at a rural site approximately 60 km northwest of the...
متن کاملThe Disappearing Asian City: Protecting Asia’s Urban Heritage in a Globalizing World
Those who have been charmed by the ambience of life in an Asian city probably felt its evocative and at times palpable connection with past traditions and history and enjoyed the sociability of its street life. They might wonder how one could sustain and even replicate the sense of place and the quality of life one experiences in such a city. The Disappearing Asian City shows that such cities f...
متن کاملResidential exposure to chlorinated hydrocarbons from groundwater contamination and the impairment of renal function-An ecological study
Groundwater pollution from the petrochemical industry causes serious deterioration of soil and groundwater quality and impacts on human health worldwide. However, few studies have examined the effect of residential exposure to petrochemical chlorinated hydrocarbon-contaminated groundwater on renal function impairment in humans. We conducted an ecological study to investigate the two. A polyviny...
