Increasing concern exists over the adverse effects of air pollution on human health. Epidemiological studies have shown a clear association between cardiovascular morbidity, decreased lung function, increased hospital admissions, mortality, and airborne concentrations of photochemical and particulate pollutants. Human exposure chamber studies of specific pollutants have shown that short term ex...

in this paper, we extend some propositions of banachalgebras into module actions and establish the relationships betweentopological centers of module actions. we introduce some newconcepts as                         -property and -property for banach modules and obtain some conclusions inthe topological center of module actions and arens regularity of banachalgebras.
