Road dust and vehicle exhaust are the main sources of air pollution in cities, especially in recent years with the quantity of vehicles and transportation construction continuously soaring; the hazy weather has been a dominant urban pollution form which is widely concerned by the Chinese society. By establishing a relationship model between traffic and land use, then applying analytic hierarchy...

BACKGROUND Pollution has been established as an environmental factor in the development of lung cancer; however, the incidence rate in Shijiazhuang, one of China's most heavily polluted cities, is unknown. METHODS As Chinese citizens are entitled to complete public medical insurance coverage, we estimated the lung cancer incidence rate among registered citizens of urban Shijiazhuang in 2012 u...

This study is aimed at analyzing the opinions and proposals of scientists from Russia China on reducing harmful emissions into atmosphere produced by urban transport. Many factors air pollution are similar in cities these countries. Therefore, Chinese Russian researcher’ could be mutually useful for solving issues improving quality emissions. The based a comprehensive data analysis. First all, ...

How do the concentrations of indoor air pollutants known to increase risk of respiratory disease, cancer, heart disease, and stroke change after a smoke-free workplace law? Real-time measurements were made of respirable particle (RSP) air pollution and particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PPAH), in a casino, six bars, and a pool hall before and after a smoking ban. Secondhand smoke con...

Due to considerable progress in exhaust control emission technology and extensive regulatory work regarding this issue, non-exhaust sources of air pollution have become a growing concern. This research involved studying three types of road environment samples such as road dust, sludge from storm drains and roadside soil collected from heavily congested and polluted cities in Poland (Krakow, War...

O nce a severe but local problem of highly industrialised and densely populated cities, air pollution has now morphed into a more insidious threat to the public health of entire nations. Smoke from domestic coal fires, power plants and heavy industry has largely vanished from our skies. This has been achieved through the use of clean fuels, filtration of flue gases, improvements in process tech...

Fog droplets in the atmosphere are first produced by the activation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), which are originally some ionic compound. Subsequently, the nuclei grow by vapor diffusion. Fog droplets are polluted through the activation process and successive diffusion growth and residence (post activation). We cannot distinguish the effects of the two pollution processes of natural fog...

Regular aerobic exercise is recommended by physicians to improve health and longevity. However, individuals exercising in urban regions are often in contact with air pollution, which includes particles and gases associated with respiratory disease and cancer. We describe the recent evidence on the cardiovascular effects of air pollution, and the implications of exercising in polluted environmen...

Deterioration of air quality in Indian megacities (Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata) is much more significant than that observed in the megacities of developed countries. Densely packed high-rise buildings restrict the self-cleaning capabilities of Indian megacities. Also, the ever growing number of on-road vehicles, resuspension of the dust, and anthropogenic activities exacerbate the levels of ambien...

Environment pollution is a major problem in developing countries these days. Air pollution in particularis a cause of many diseases.In the present study an attempt has been made to map the pollution areas of Agra and predict the pollution at unsampled location.For this thirty places of Agra are selected for collectingair samples.Geographic Information System (GIS) and Kriging (Ordinary Kriging)...
