In this paper is reported an analysis about the outdoor air pollution of the urban centre of the city of Messina. The variations of the most critical pollutants concentrations (PM10, O3, CO, C6H6) and their trends respect of climatic parameters and vehicular traffic have been studied. Linear regressions have been effectuated for representing the relations among the pollutants; the differences b...

INTRODUCTION exposure to air pollution has been shown to increase risk of inflammatory processes and risk of cardiovascular mortality. Such exposure may therefore also be a risk factor for cognitive impairment/dementia. METHOD a systematic review of the literature was conducted with databases searched using keywords for air pollution, cognitive decline and dementia. All identified abstracts a...

Optimization of timetable is the need of the day for the rescheduling and routing of trains in real time. Trains are scheduled in parallel with the road transport vehicles to the same destination. As the number of trains is restricted due to single track, customers usually opt for road transport to use frequently. The air pollution increases as the density of vehicles on road transport is incre...

In an urban area the determination of transportation routes should be planned so as to minimize the provoked pollution taking into account the cost of such routes. In the sequel these routes are cited as pollution routes. The transportation network is expressed by a weighted graph ( ) , , , G V E D P = where every vertex represents a location to be served and E contains unordered pairs (edges) ...

For the last decade, literature on the detrimental impacts of air pollution on brain, cognition and behavior has exponentially increased. Our aim is to review the latest epidemiologic literature on the association between outdoor air pollution and neuropsychological developmental in children. Two independent researchers searched for published studies between January 1, 2012 and June 12, 2015 in...

This research paper is an attempt towards analyzing real time air pollution data collected by PAQS sensor devices from some key locations in Bangalore. Air pollution in most of the metropolitan cities in India is turning out to be a major threat to our environment and hazardous to our health. Many infections and diseases related to lungs and throat are caused by the polluted air we breathe. The...

air pollution is one of the major threats to environment in the present time. increase in degree of urbanization is a major cause of this air pollution. due to urbanization, vehicular activities are continuously increasing at a tremendous rate. mobile or vehicular pollution is predominantly degrading the air quality worldwide. thus, air quality management is necessary for dealing with this seve...

Environmental pollution is one of the serious crisis to which we are facing today. It is fact that three basic elements air, water and land which constitute harmony of nature for proper and balance living of all organisms, it was fortunate enough that such hospitable and balance environment was the destiny of our predecessors. But it is contrary to living of the present environment. With the ra...

Exposure to air pollution in city centers is of major concern because of its health-risks to urban dwellers, trafficcorridor users and even to in-transit commuters. The steady growth in traffic is the major source of toxic air pollutants in urban centers these days. Therefore, studying exposure to air pollutants in urban centers is of special interests to environmental health scientists. This s...

to assess the health impact of air pollution on bejaia population in the north of algeria, we carried out a descriptive epidemiologic inquiry near the medical establishments of three areas.from hospital admissions registers, we collected data on the hospital mortality and admissions relating to the various cardiorespiratory pathologies generated by this type of pollution. in parallel, data on t...
