Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...

During the 20th century, air pollution control technologies grew at an amazingly rapid rate. Air quality in much of the industrialized world greatly improved as the efficiencies of these technologies improved. This continued improvement in pollution control has more recently been complemented with measures to prevent the emission of air pollutants. The previous, exclusive focus on treatment req...

conclusions atpl was higher in the post-monsoon season. w/s ratio and correlation analysis revealed interseasonal homogeneity of tmv and traffic noise levels and interseasonal heterogeneity of air pollutant concentrations and atpl in the city microenvironments. results atpl was 3.35 times higher in the post-monsoon and 1.83 times higher in the pre-monsoon season than the permissible limits pres...

Although air pollution has been suggested as a possible risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), results from existing epidemiologic studies have been inconsistent. We investigated the associations of prevalence and incidence of DM with long-term exposure to air pollution as estimated using annual average concentrations of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less ...

The prime aim of this research is to support decision making, e.g., air quality impact analysis, human health assessment, through spatially modelling traffic-induced air pollution dispersion in urban areas at street level. Based on the information needed in decision making, a framework for a street level air quality decision support system is established, which is composed of basically three pa...

Air quality is a major environmental concern in China, where premature deaths due to air pollution have exceeded 1 million people per year in recent years. Here, using a novel coupling of economic, physical and epidemiological models, we estimate the premature mortality related to anthropogenic outdoor PM2.5 air pollution in seven regions of China in 2010 and show for the first time how the dis...

BACKGROUND Exposure to air pollution, including traffic-related pollutants, has been associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes, including increased cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality, and increased lung cancer risk. METHODS To better understand the cellular responses induced by air pollution exposures, we performed genome-wide gene expression microarray analysis using whole bl...

background: industrialization and urbanization had a devastating impact on public health and caused an increase in health related morbidity and mortality. in fact, asthma is a chronic condition which is considered as one of the significant challenges of public health. in this study, we investigated the association of air pollution and weather conditions with excess emergency ward admissions of ...

background: contemporary development of growing urban communities and increasing the economical and industrial activities in the current century without paying attention to assess the effect of these activities on human health, as the axis of the development, is caused urban air pollution and risks from different pollutant emissions. tehran air pollution has received considerable media coverage...
