It is well known that ubiquitous use of the automobile has become a threat to the environment. However, humans have also become negatively affected by the proliferation of the current auto-centered culture, particularly low-income minority groups. Those who have access to a vehicle have a great advantage in our society while those who do not suffer in many ways. The current style of American tr...

Benzene is among the gasoline components and is airborne by vehicular traffic. It is a myelotoxic and leukaemia-inducing compound (Snyder et al., 1993; Ward et al., 1992; Vigliani and Saita, 1964). The risk level, expressed as myeloid leukaemia cases increment estimate among the population not professionally exposed to benzene, has been stated to range 3.8 to 7.5 cases every million people expo...

Increasing air pollution levels due to rapid urbanization and growth in vehicular emission have become a major source of concern. As a result, research on air pollution in urban environments has largely focused on road deposited dust. In the present study, road deposited dust samples collected from the Ketu-South District, Volta Region in Ghana were analyzed for heavy metals (As, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni...

Abstract PM pollution is one of the most important environmental problems worldwide. One sources pollution, which has a negative impact on human health, dust that enters atmosphere, especially in arid regions. Iğdır Province, located east Anatolia, an climate character and was selected as polluted province Europe 2021 2022 (in terms 2.5 pollution). In this study, effect wind erosion-induced air...

This article extends environmental risk perception research by exploring how potential health risk from exposure to industrial and vehicular air pollutants, as well as other contextual and socio-demographic factors, influence racial/ethnic differences in air pollution health risk perception. Our study site is the Greater Houston metropolitan area, Texas, USA-a racially/ethnically diverse area f...

BACKGROUND The air pollution caused by vehicular emissions is associated with cognitive decline. However, the associations between the levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) exposure and dementia remain poorly defined and have been addressed in only a few previous studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we obtained data on 29547 people from the National Health Insuran...

The aim of the study was to identify and quantify concentrations potential sources Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in dust particles at fuel filling stations Tamale Metropolis. Sixteen USEPA recognised PAHs were identified after samples analysed their using PAH isomeric ratios. Sample extraction conducted an Accelerated Solvent Extractor (ASE) levels further GC-MS system. total ...

IEEE 1609.4 Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) has been proposed to enhance the performance of vehicular networks with multi-channel operations that allow for the coexistence of safety-related and non-safety related vehicular applications. At present, the evaluation of 1609.4-based Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) constitutes an open issue due to the lack of simulat...

I t is widely known that exposure to outdoor air pollution is associated with acute and chronic changes in expiratory lung volumes. However, most of these studies have assessed exposure to air pollutants using monitors that primarily measure background levels. While this method may be useful in estimating exposure to ozone, it may not provide an adequate estimate of exposure to other pollutants...
