PM2.5 samples were collected from 24 trash-burning piles in Bangalore,

Background: Haematotoxicity occurs following acute and chronic low dose exposures to lead. This study aimed to assess the association between occupational lead exposure and haematological parameters among roadside and organized panel beaters in Enugu Metropolis, Nigeria, 2018-19.  Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and analytical study of 428 roadside and organized panel beaters...

Abstract Current urban development practices are predicted to be largely unsustainable, placing an increasing burden on surrounding ecological systems. One mitigation effort involves expanding green infrastructure and alleviating challenges by building in cooperation with processes. Cities investing large-scale projects such as parks, bioswales (roadside plantings), roofs. Recently, scientists ...

background: gasoline station workers are exposed to volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex). objectives: to determine the level of exposure to btex compounds among gasoline station workers and measure the roadside concentrations of these compounds in the inner and outer areas of bangkok, thailand. methods: 49 workers at 6 gasoline stations in the inne...

City road verges often represent existing green space and provide opportunities for ecological enhancement. Urban greenspace improvement initiatives at the residential verge scale require genuine community support engagement success. We examined a community-based voluntary assisted greening program designed to enhance connectivity using native plants in local municipality Perth, Western Austral...

foliar surface of plants is continuously exposed to the surrounding atmosphere and is, therefore, the main receptor of particulate pollutants. this physical trait can be used to determine the level of particulate pollution in the surroundings, as well as the ability of individual plant species to intercept and mitigate particulate pollutants. in the present study, leaf cuticle characters of fou...

this paper discusses the importance of environmental aesthetics and scenic beauty of currentroadside vegetation in the highways, and the necessity for the contribution of users (motorists) preferences inthe integration of scenic beauty of roadside vegetation into its management plans. the results of a questionnairesurvey of motorist’s opinion on the landscape aesthetics and quality of some high...

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are the flaming topic of research. VANET comprises of moving vehicles communicating with each other. VANETs involve three types of communication: vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to roadside (V2R) or vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication. VANETs consist of some vital components: RSU, OBU and Trusted Authority. Among them Roadside units (RSUs) are one ...

1556-6072/09/$25.00©2009IEEE IEEE VEHICULAR TECHNOLOGY MAGAZINE | MARCH 2009 We introduce a routing solution called landmark overlays for urban vehicular routing environments (LOUVRE), an approach that efficiently builds a landmark overlay network on top of an urban topology. We define urban junctions as overlay nodes and create an overlay link if and only if the traffic density of the underlyi...
