Directional variograms, along the soil profile, can be useful and precise tool that can be used to increase the precision of the assessment of soil pollution. The detail analysis of spatial variability in the soil profile can be also an important part of the standardization of soil magnetometry as a screening method for an assessment of soil pollution related to the dust deposition. The goal of...

Environmental analysis and monitoring of pollution are important tasks in Egypt and all over the world. In this study, temporal SPOT satellite multispectral images were used for locating the horizontal dispersion of air pollution caused by a cement factory that was constructed near Assiut City in Egypt. Two different working conditions of the factory were analyzed. In the first one (1995), with...

We propose a new approach to assess the impact of traffic-related air pollution on public health by mapping personal trajectories using mobile phone tracking technology in an urban environment. Although this approach is not based on any empirical studies, we believe that this method has great potential and deserves serious attention. Mobile phone tracking technology makes it feasible to generat...

The model system KAMM/DRAIS is a mesoscale ChemicalTransport Model. It consists of the non hydrostatic meterological model KAMM and the dispersion model DRAIS (see Fig. 1). The main objective of the evaluation is the estimation of the reliability of the model system KAMM/DRAIS to predict the air pollution distribution, especially that of the ozone concentration. The results of such a model eval...
