Lead (Pb) pollution has been considered as a major threat for human health. Lead may be able to induce inflammatory cascades in various tissues. Allergic asthma and neurodegenerative diseases inflammatory diseases that the association between lead exposure and occurrence of these problems has been proven. The aim of present review is to summarize literature on the effects of lead exposure and o...

Deteriorating air quality in China has created global public health concerns in regard to health and health-related behaviors. Although emerging environmental regulations address ambient air pollution in China, the level of enforcement and long-term impact of these measures remain unknown. Exposure to air pollution has been shown to lead to multiple adverse health outcomes, including increased ...

In this research a pot experiment was carried out to investigate the remediation ability of E. camaldulensis Dehnh inLead-Zinc (Pb-Zn) contaminated soil. The study also investigated the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) and diethylenetrinitrilopentaacetic acid (DTPA) on the phytoremediation efficiency of the plant species, andharvest time as a suitable dose of chelating agents wa...

introduction: air pollution is one of the problems of the recent century caused by vehicles, industries and other urban activities. the city of yazd faces air pollution due to its high population, vehicular traffic and industrial places around the city. one of the important parameters of air pollution is suspended air particles that have harmful effects on the health of people, plants and objec...

In this paper I study the e¤ects of environmental regulation which establishes upper and lower binding targets to pollution emissions. Essentially, I deal with the properties of a stochastic model of pollution control in continuous-time under emission targets and uncertainty, emphasizing dynamic nonlinearities. Inside the targets pollution behaves as if it were freely ‡oating until it hits one ...

This research first focuses on the spatial and temporal patterns of heavy metals from contrasting environments (highly polluted to deepwater sites) of Lake Geneva. The mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) records from two deepwater sites show that the heavy metal variations before the industrial period are primarily linked to natural weathering input of trace elements. By opposition, the discharge of ind...

Children attending schools in urban areas with high traffic density are a high risk group for lead poisoning. We assessed the magnitude of lead exposure in schoolchildren from Jakarta by analyzing blood lead concentrations and biomarkers of heme biosynthesis. A total of 131 children from four public elementary schools in Jakarta (two in the southern district and two in the central district) wer...
